Lyrics

Yeah, I saw you coming down the street
I could tell by your look that you didn't want to meet
So this time, I went away, but next time
I'm just gonna have to say
Can I buy you a dress or something?
Could I buy you some drewery or something?
Would you go out with me or something?
Would you sleep with me or something?"

Better watch out, if you're train is moving to fast
You better look out, if you're living in the past
Because that's why you'll never lose these sweet misery blues
That's why you'll never lose these sweet misery blues

Yeah, I'm gonna corner you in an elevator
And then you won't be able to put me off till later
I'll put on my charm and I'll tingle your spine
I'll take off my charm and then you'll wanna die
Could I buy you a dress or something?
Could I buy you some drewery or something?
Would you go out with me or something?
Would you sleep with me or something?"

You better watch out, cause you can't get rid of me
You better look out, now babe don't you see?
That's why you'll never lose these sweet misery blues. (2 times)
