It's been ten long years since I've been home I've been waiting here with nowhere to go It's an occupation I don't like But it pays the rent and turns on the light (alright) I told you so It has to be Cut loose and runaway with me We'll go out every night I'll be there by your side And we'll all get high down the old west side If it ain't the job and it ain't the place But I must stay for your pretty face It's a bad reaction I can't fix You conned me with those feline tricks And I told you so It's a crazy world For a mixed-up guy And a no-good girl And I told you so It's a crazy world For a mixed-up guy With a no-good girl (Take her, take the world) I told you so It has to be Cut loose and run away (run away) with me We'll go out every night I'll be there by your side And we'll all get high down the old west side Down the old west side Down the old west side Down the old west side (Take the world, yeah)
