Lucky Kid

Sheryl Crow · C'mon C'mon

I want to take you down to the river
I want to wash the blood from your hands
I want to make you see
You belong to me
You won't ever win

I want to walk out over the water
I want to tear my heart from my chest
I want to change my face
Wanna leave this place
Start all over again

Well don't you know
You're wasted
You got more than you asked for
Wasted
You walk in through the out door
Oh, you're a lucky kid
Wasted

I want to turn you into a Corvette
I want to drive you out of your mind
I want to watch your face
When you reach that place
That you could never find

I want to make you scream for mercy
I want to break the silence within
And take you to your knees
Just like you did me
And crawl around in your skin

Oh don't you know
Wasted
You got more than you asked for
Wasted
You walk in through the out door
Oh you're a lucky kid
Wasted

Oh you're a lucky kid
You got more than you asked for
Wasted
You went in through the out door

You tasted
What you never had before
You wasted everything
And now you're such a bore

Oh you're a lucky kid
Wasted
Oh cause I know what you did
Wasted
Oh you're a lucky kid
I got your number
Oh you get away with it
