Here we go I got somebody's dying You're like a soap opera cover My love of suffer demands Juicy Juicy You said somebody's saying You're like a salve for a leper You sweeten somebody's pain Juicy Juicy Yeah, you gotta live for your own You say you got all the sordid detail Check out retail Watch it sell J-J-J-Juicy (I got a delay) (Mothers, children on the street can't get enough to eat) Juicy (Off the record issues fly...Don't know the reason why?) Juicy (Meet me down the checkout stand...You could be the lover man) Juicy (Conscience bleeding in a song, Juicy as the day is long.) (Goodbye) Yeah, you gotta live for your own You say you got all the sordid detail Check out retail Watch it sell I've got to see that lie You say what you've got to say You gotta know it's a bitter poison, sapping all your soul away
