I had a sweet thing going On the high side of town I tried to fit in her world But it came crashing down She was mine for awhile She was so fine for awhile Now I'm back to being wretched again (Wretched again) She really spoiled me rotten She made me a kept man Well I miss my nights rockin' (All night rockin') In her sweet hands But she was mine for awhile I did my time with a smile Now I'm back to being wretched again (Wretched again) Yeah, she really had her claws in me Well I had to just get back on the street And down to the other side of the track Right where I belong with the rest of the trash And being wretched again (Wretched again) (Wretched again) We were the unlikely couple And the word got around That I was headed for trouble (Oooh big trouble) Runnin' with the wrong crowd I toed the line for awhile And I lived high for awhile And it was fine for awhile Now I'm back to being wretched again (Wretched, wretched again) Yeah, it was fine for awhile I did my time with a smile She was so fine for awhile Now I'm back to being wretched again (Wretched, wretched again) (Wretched, wretched again)
