Scandals And Scoundrels
June Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

These sheets won't touch the floor tonight
She's wearing that shirt that cuts to her shoulders
Better off with the dress that drags
You're better off with the dress that drags

To the small of your back
To the bedroom after this you'll keep me guessing
Once again
(You're better off with the dress that drags)

Once again, you're better off with the dress that drags
To the small of your back

I forgot this is not where I left you
Gonna get to the bottom of this, the bottom

Get me out, you are, you are
Always seem to get me out
You always seem to get me started, started
Get me out, you are, you are

Always seem to get me out
You always seem to get me started, started again
(This is your desperate attempt to keep your promises)

Your motive is your weakness
She still selfconscious bout her pale skin while she's feeling
This is your mistake after this you'll keep me guessing
Once again
(You're better off and you're still selfconscious)
Once again, after this
You'll wish you were better off and you wish you were better than this

I forgot this is not where I left you
Gonna get to the bottom of this, the bottom

Cause I forgot this is not where I left you
Gonna get to the bottom of this, the bottom

Get me out, you are, you are
Always seem to get me out
You always seem to get me started, started
Get me out, you are, you are
Always seem to get me out
You always seem to get me started, started again

You're always good at getting started
I was always so much better talking myself out of this
(These feet won't touch the floor tonight
Just make sure you lock the door)

She fell asleep with the TV on
Near the set just to keep you warm
You are my struggle

You're always good at getting started
I was always so much better talking myself out of this
She's wearing that shirt that cuts to her shoulders
(Better off with the dress that cuts to your back)

Get me out, you are, you are
Aways seem to get me out you are

Get me out, you are, you are
Always seem to get me out
You always seem to get me started, started
Get me out, you are, you are

(You were always good at getting started)
Always seem to get me out




(I was always so much better at talking myself out of this)
You always seem to get me started, started again
