[Intro]
(Lock me up, take my pride away)
(Shake my hand, pour the chardonnay)

[Verse 1]
To the left of July, I finally caved to the careless
Got a bad idea for two, but rolled the dice (Rolled the dice)
You got me runnin', pinchin' pennies, like I’m a fool
(Just a getaway, long shot getaway)
You got me runnin', tryin' to sell me Hollywood
(Just a getaway, long shot getaway)

[Pre-Chorus]
So, can you please help me man?
I didn’t think that they would tie my hands, there’s a
High price to pay for fame
Put the shame on you for your hollow ways

[Chorus]
Been nice to know ya
But don’t come between
Mi amore
It’s killin’ me
Been nice to know ya
But don’t come between
Mi amore
She’s the best of me

[Verse 2]
As I walk alone, oh, I hope I get justice
I carry one-dollar bills like it’s a choice
You got me runnin'
Pinchin' pennies, like I’m a fool
(Just a getaway, long shot getaway)
You got me runnin', runnin' all over Hollywood
(Just a getaway, long shot getaway)

[Pre-Chorus]
So, can you please help me man?
I didn’t think that they would tie my hands, there’s a
High price to pay for fame
Put the shame on you for your hollow ways
[Chorus]
Been nice to know ya
But don’t come between
Mi amore
It’s killin’ me
Been nice to know ya
But don’t come between
Mi amore
She’s the best of me

[Post-Chorus]
Can’t put up a fight
'Til I’m away from you
Can’t put up a fight
'Til I’m away from you
(Away from you) (Away from you)

[Bridge]
Lock me up, take my pride away
Shake my hand, pour the chardonnay
Lock me up, take my pride away
Shake my hand, pour the chardonnay
Lock me up, take my pride away
Shake my hand, pour the chardonnay

[Chorus]
Been nice to know ya
But don’t come between
Mi amore
It’s killin’ me
Been nice to know ya
But don’t come between
Mi amore
She’s the best of me
[Post-Chorus]
Can’t put up a fight
'Til I’m away from you
Can’t put up a fight
'Til I’m away from you
