lyrics

I’ve heard all the stories, I’m through with the lies
Don’t know how to scratch this itch I’ve got but I’m willing to give it a try

Here’s where you enter, here’s where you take that bow
It don’t have to be a happy ending
But it better not be ending now

See I don’t think that I can take this
I don’t see how anyone could
Coz I’m just dying of this hunger, baby
So fill me up with something good

This time you’ll follow, this time, believe me, you’ll wait
You might not be one to play along but I bet you’ll still be taking the bait
See I’m done with pure intentions, I’m done with searching for truth
This is one game I assure you, baby, you’ll wanna follow all of the rules

See I don’t think that I can take this
I don’t see how anyone could
Coz I’m just dying of this hunger, baby
So fill me up with something good
With something good
With something, something good
