Busted
McFly ft Busted Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Ooh what you fell into
It's really nothin' new
Well it's the same thing every day
I'm in the wrong place at the wrong time
With what I do and say
I've tried and tried to right my wrongs
And turn ?em all around
Turn ?em around, turn ?em around, turn'em around

Busted
Busted for what I did
I didn't think it so wrong
Busted
Busted for what I did
I didn't think it so wrong
Busted
Busted for what I did
I didn't think it so wrong
I didn't, I didn't think it so wrong, well

Well I made a big mistake
But baby that's the breaks
I can't erase what's done is done
Don't have the best of luck
I think enough's enough
And my mind is on the run
Time to go, time to show




We'll turn it around
Turn it around, turn it around, turn it around
