With your permission I will walk away now
I've seen too much to make me stay
I'm growing tired of the games you play girl
You stayed the same but the rules have changed
We were young and we were foolish
Made mistakes like anyone would
I'm your lap-dog, struck by cupid
Under your spell, I could not see it
You owe money over both sides of town
I see that trouble's coming - it's tracking you down
Used your beauty like a work of art
But you can't see that it's falling apart
You went too far now there's no turning back
Your façade is crumbling starting to crack
How'd it get to be so serious?
Can't you see... what a mess we're in?
We were young and we were foolish
Now we're older - no excuses
Tried to tell you - you won't listen
Can I leave with, your permission?
You went too far now there's no turning back
Your façade is crumbling starting to crack
How'd it get to be so serious?
Can't you see... what a mess we're in?
You always thought I would be there for you
But this is crazy baby that's why we're through
How'd it get to be so serious?
Can't you see...?
