La Santa Cecilia Lyrics
Dont think, you got me figured out
I say dont think, I havent been around
I say dont think, I aint going nowhere
Cause you could be surprised
Show me that you can take a stand
I say show me, that you could be a man
Show me more cause this is going nowhere
I will give you up
I wont cry for you, I surely had enough
And I will fly for good
Wish that I'd never met you
This life is such a bore, I need another dude
Listen, we gotta stop the hugging and the kissing
Cause in the end the goods are missing
Don't like rides that take me nowhere
I am getting off
I wont cry for you, I surely had enough
And I will fly for good
Wish that I'd never met you
This life is such a bore, I need another dude
I'm so tired of always faking it
I can't stand another nigth like this
Oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh
I'm so tired of always faking it
I can't stand another nigth like this
Oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh
I wont cry for you, I surely had enough
And I will fly for good
Wish that I'd never met you
This life is such a bore, I need another dude
I wont cry for you, I surely had enough
And I will fly for good
Wish that I'd never met you
This life is such a bore, I need another dude
I say dont think, I havent been around
I say dont think, I aint going nowhere
Cause you could be surprised
Show me that you can take a stand
I say show me, that you could be a man
Show me more cause this is going nowhere
I will give you up
And I will fly for good
Wish that I'd never met you
This life is such a bore, I need another dude
Listen, we gotta stop the hugging and the kissing
Cause in the end the goods are missing
Don't like rides that take me nowhere
I am getting off
I wont cry for you, I surely had enough
And I will fly for good
Wish that I'd never met you
This life is such a bore, I need another dude
I'm so tired of always faking it
I can't stand another nigth like this
Oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh
I'm so tired of always faking it
I can't stand another nigth like this
Oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh
I wont cry for you, I surely had enough
And I will fly for good
Wish that I'd never met you
This life is such a bore, I need another dude
I wont cry for you, I surely had enough
And I will fly for good
Wish that I'd never met you
This life is such a bore, I need another dude
