[English]
Where is your boy tonight?I hope he is a gentleman.
Maybe he won't find out what I know:
You were the last good thing about this part of town.
When I wake up,
I'm willing to take my chances on
The hope I forget
That you hate him more than you notice
I wrote this for you (for you, so...)
You need him
I could be him
I could be an accident but I'm still trying.
That's more than I can say for him.
Where is your boy tonight?
I hope he is a gentleman.
Maybe he won't find out what I know:
You were the last good thing about this part of town.
Someday I'll appreciate in value,
Get off my ass and call you...
{But for} the meantime I'll sport my
Brand new fashion of waking up with pants on
At four in the afternoon.
You need him
I could be him
I could be an accident but I'm still trying.
That's more than I can say for him.
Where is your boy tonight?
I hope he is a gentleman.
Maybe he won't find out what I know:
You were the last good thing about this part of town.
(Won't find out) He won't find out
(Won't find out) He won't find out
Where is your boy tonight?
I hope he is a gentleman.
Maybe he won't find out what I know:
You were the last good thing about this part of town.
Where is your boy tonight?
I hope he is a gentleman. (he won't find out)
Maybe he won't find out what I know:
You were the last good thing about this part of town.
