lyrics

girl, if I could buy you I would buy you so bad
use you for a month and take you back
to the shop you’re from
and get my money back
cause I can not afford you
and that’s why I want you so bad

thing, for a moment I forgot you were there
it’s getting harder to pretend like I care
but the harder I try the more I am becoming aware
that if this curtain were drawn
all you’d find is despair

who owns you?
who - who - who owns - you?
who owns?

sex is just another way of sealing a deal
an hour of your labor I steal
and if it helps you sleep
then fuck it we can call it real
but what difference does it make
if it’s only skin that we feel?

I have got a hole I’ve been trying to fill
as if you couldn’t tell
how I learned it from the best
fulfillment is to buy and to sell
so I pawned off god
but I could never shake the hell
