The easy, fast & fun way to learn how to sing: 30DaySinger.com
Hey sucker (What the hell's got into you?) Hey sucker (Now there's nothing you can do) Well I hadn't seen your face around town awhile, So I greeted you, with a knowing smile, When I saw that girl upon your arm, I knew she won your heart with a fatal charm. I said "Soul Boy, let's hit the town!" I said "Soul Boy, what's with the frown?" But in return, all you could say was "Hi George, meet my fiancee" [Chorus] Young guns, Having some fun Crazy ladies keep 'em on the run. Wise guys realize there's danger in emotional ties. See me, single and free No tears, no fears, what I want to be. One, two, take a look at you Death by matrimony! Hey sucker, (What the hell's got into you?) Hey sucker! (Now there's nothing you can do.) A married man? you're out of your head Sleepless nights, on an H.P. bed A daddy by the time you're twenty-one If your happy with a nappy then you're in for fun. But you're here And you're there Well there's guys like you just everywhere Looking back on the good old days? Well this young gun says caution pays! [Chorus] I remember when he such fun and everything was fine, I remember when we use to have a good time, Partners in crime. Tell me that's all in the past and I will gladly walk away, Tell me that you're happy now, Turning my back Nothing to say! "Hey tell this jerk to take a hike, There's somethin' 'bout that boy I don't like" "Well sugar he don't mean the things he said" "Just get him outta my way, 'cause I'm seeing red We got plans to make, we got things to buy And you're wasting time on some creepy guy" "Hey shut up chick, that's a friend of mine, Just watch your mouth babe, you're out of line" Oh! Get Back Hands off Go for it! Get Back Hands off Go for it! [Chorus]
