lyrics

What have you been up to? Nothing at all
You wake me up at 3am with your desperate call – you’re no good
You drive me up the wall
With your whiskey and your cigarettes and nothing at all

You leave your sugar on the table for everyone to taste
By the end of the night ain’t got a dollar to waste – you’re no good
You drive me up the wall
With your whiskey and your cigarettes and nothing at all

Fool me once, I see you’re packing a punch and now – everyone knows
Fool me twice and now I’m paying the price ‘cause honey you ain’t no rose

You’re jumpin’ off the 3rd floor and breaking some bones
With everybody watching, you’re never alone – you’re no good
You drive me up the wall
With your whiskey and your cigarettes and nothing at all

Fool me once, I see you’re packing a punch and now – everyone knows
Fool me twice and now I’m paying the price ‘cause honey you ain’t no rose

What were you thinking? Your keys are outside
You couldn’t get it together even if you tried – you’re no good
You really dropped the ball
With your whiskey and your cigarettes and nothing at all
