Sit down, quiet everybody
We got a long way to go
I told you once before
That you better not start the show
Keep on, keep on,
Keep on, keep on
Keep on, keep on,
Keep on, yeah
If you want me
You can't have me
But you've got to
Please accept me
Back off, baby, I'm a loner
I got a lotta things to see
I told you once before
That you better not take it from me
Keep on, keep on,
Keep on, keep on
Keep on, keep on,
Keep on, yeah
If you hate this
No, I can't blame you
Because I'm hurtin'
So I'll flame you
I've seen the game before
My love walks right to the door
There ain't no hope for me anymore
If you hate this
No, I can't blame you
Because I'm hurtin'
So I'll flame you
And I've seen this game before
My love walks right to your door
There ain't no hope for me anymore
We got a long way to go
I told you once before
