Lyrics for Song: Tattooed Love Boys
Lyrics for Album: The Best Of The Pretenders 2009 + Break Up The Concrete [2011]
The mid-twenty joys
Around a heart that's black and blue.
Tattooed love boys,
I tore my knees up getting to you
'Cause I needed
To find out what the thing was for
Been reading,
Man the time came to explore.
I went apewire
'Cause I thought
I kinda liked it.
Little tease.
But I didn't mean it.
But you mess with the good doll, honey you gotta pay.
Yeah.
A good time
Was guaranteed for one and all.
The tattoos
Target practice in the hall
While waiting
For their number to get called out.
I, I, I, I found out what the wait was about.
I was a good time.
Yeah.
I got pretty good
At changing tires
Upstairs, bro.
I shot my mouth off and you showed me what that hole was for.
Now I see you
All impressed and half undressed.
You got paint stick
All over the scars and lumps and bumps.
Tattooed love boys
Have got you where I used to lay.
Well ha ha, too bad
But you...know...what they say,
"Stop sniveling'
"You're gonna make some plastic surgeon a rich man."
Oh but the prestige and the glory.
Another human interest story.
You...are...that.
