I can’t say I didn’t know any better I can’t say that I was just too young My free pass has turned into a letter Saying you got more work before you’re done I can’t say I wasn’t given a chance That the rich never bothered to share If I’m a loser, baby, by the end of this I’m a loser, baby, fair and square How the world seems to look so simple When you got the means to look from way up high How the world seems to get so messy When you got the time to ask “how” and “why” I’ve cleaned every bit of dirt from my nails But the soil seeped into my blood It doesn’t matter how far I go I can’t seem to shake where I come from And oh-oh, I kissed a boy on the west side of town With a Porsche and a million dollar record deal Oh-oh, but there’s a boy living way downtown Doesn’t understand how he makes feel Logic tells me I should drive that Porsche toward the sand But my heart only beats for this downtown man So, I’m loving like a loser Batting zero for ten SongtexteI’m gonna drive downtown and make the same mistakes again I can’t say I didn’t know any better I can’t say that I was just naive When he left before the night was over I was crying in a blanket on my knees Praying “God, please give me direction” Scrub away scent with five-star hotel soap It doesn’t matter how he pushes and pulls Oh, Los Angeles, I’ll never give up hope And oh-oh, I kissed a boy on the west side of town With a Porsche and a million dollar record deal Oh-oh, but there’s a boy living way downtown Doesn’t understand how he makes feel Logic tells me I should drive that Porsche toward the sand But my heart only beats for this downtown man So, I’m loving like a loser Batting zero for ten I’m gonna drive downtown and make the same mistakes again My friends say I should quit this fight My friends say his love isn’t right My friends say I should quit this fight But I can’t so I am driving to his place tonight My friends say I should quit this fight My friends say his love isn’t right My friends say I should quit this fight But I can’t so I am driving to his place tonight My friends say I should quit this fight My friends say his love isn’t right My friends say I should quit this fight But I can’t so I am driving to his place tonight Aus Songtexte Mania
