[Verse 1]
They usually come around about ten o'clock
You can hear them, you can tell them by the way they knock
Somebody said the other one had a badge
Who told you, who told you?

[Chorus]
How about if I stay and you run away?
Well, come on back and try to get some today
Well, somebody's gonna do it again
Gonna make me turn against all of my friends
So you better have something damn worthy to say

[Verse 2]
They're growing dope everywhere around the block
You can smell it, you can tell by the way they talk
Somebody stole five for gasoline
Who told you, who told you

[Chorus]
How about if I stay and you run away?
Well, come on back and try to get some today
Well, somebody's gonna do it again
Gonna make me turn against all of my friends
So you better have something damn worthy to say
[Verse 3]
I'll never do it again (No, I won’t)
Let’s settle it (We don’t)
I can't afford my life because I'm spending it
Since you got just what you wanted

[Bridge]
We never do anything anymore
One eye on the telephone, one on the door
Somebody said revenge was served sweeter cold
I told you, I told you
They're growing dope everywhere around the block
You can smell it, you can tell it by the way they talk
Somebody stole five for gasoline
Who told you, who told you?

[Chorus]
How about if I stay and you run away?
Well, come on back and try to get some today
Well, somebody's gonna do it again
Gonna make me turn against all of my friends
So you better have something damn worthy to say

[Verse 3]
I'll never do it again (No, I won’t)
Let’s settle it (We don’t)
I can't afford my life because I'm spending it
Since you got just what you wanted
I'll never do it again (No, I won't)
Praise myself (I don't)
I can't afford my life because I'm spending it
Since you got just what you wanted
What you wanted
What you wanted
What you wanted
