[Verse 1]
Show me, show me, show me a starry-eyed kid
I, I, I will break his jaw
I won't, I won't, I won't let him get his hopes up
No-oh, oh, oh
And I will save him from himself
Here's a picture with a note, "No, don't turn out like me"
It's only for your own good
No-oh, oh, oh
[Pre-Chorus]
And haven't you heard, the word on the street is
"I lost it, called it quits," get out into the sun
Out from behind the gossip
Oh, oh, oh
[Chorus]
This story's getting old
The home wrecker with the heart of gold
Keep you locked up in the trunk of my mind
Keep, k-keep talking, keep this alive
This story's getting old
The home wrecker with the heart of gold
Keep you locked up in the trunk of my mind
Now-ow-ow
[Post-Chorus]
Hey! Hey!
Hey! Hey!
Hey! Hey!
[Verse 2]
Even when there's n-n-n-n-nothing worth living for
You're still, you're still, still worth lying for
No-no one has to
Know-ow-ow
[Pre-Chorus]
And haven't you heard, the word on the street is
"I lost it, called it quits," get out into the sun
Out from behind the gossip
Oh, oh, oh
[Chorus]
This story's getting old
The home wrecker with the heart of gold
Keep you locked up in the trunk of my mind
Keep, k-keep talking, keep this alive
This story's getting old
The home wrecker with the heart of gold
Keep you locked up in the trunk of my mind
Now-ow-ow
[Guitar Solo]
[Chorus]
This story's getting old
The home wrecker with the heart of gold
Keep you locked up in the trunk of my mind
Keep, k-keep talking, keep this alive
This story's getting old
The home wrecker with the heart of gold
Keep you locked up in the trunk of my mind
Now-ow-ow, n-now-ow-ow, n-now-ow-ow, n-now-ow-ow, stop!
Show me, show me, show me a starry-eyed kid
I, I, I will break his jaw
I won't, I won't, I won't let him get his hopes up
No-oh, oh, oh
And I will save him from himself
Here's a picture with a note, "No, don't turn out like me"
It's only for your own good
No-oh, oh, oh
[Pre-Chorus]
And haven't you heard, the word on the street is
"I lost it, called it quits," get out into the sun
Out from behind the gossip
Oh, oh, oh
[Chorus]
This story's getting old
The home wrecker with the heart of gold
Keep you locked up in the trunk of my mind
Keep, k-keep talking, keep this alive
This story's getting old
The home wrecker with the heart of gold
Keep you locked up in the trunk of my mind
Now-ow-ow
[Post-Chorus]
Hey! Hey!
Hey! Hey!
Hey! Hey!
[Verse 2]
Even when there's n-n-n-n-nothing worth living for
You're still, you're still, still worth lying for

Keep, k-keep talking, keep this alive
This story's getting old
The home wrecker with the heart of gold
Keep you locked up in the trunk of my mind
Now-ow-ow
[Guitar Solo]
[Chorus]
This story's getting old
The home wrecker with the heart of gold
Keep you locked up in the trunk of my mind
Keep, k-keep talking, keep this alive
This story's getting old
The home wrecker with the heart of gold
Keep you locked up in the trunk of my mind
Now-ow-ow, n-now-ow-ow, n-now-ow-ow, n-now-ow-ow, stop!
