Jaded

[Verse 1]

Happy birthday, baby

What's it going to be?

Monday morning with a hurricane warning

Oh well, I guess you've got yourself to please

Jaded, faded

[Pre-Chorus]

I don't want to be afraid

Jaded, I hate it

I don't want to be your slave

Saw you peeking round my garden gate

I thought you'd liked what you'd seen

So I said, "Darling, if you want a little of these peaches

Just come on and shake my tree"

Jaded, faded

[Chorus]

I don't want to be your slave

Jaded, I hate it

I don't want to be afraid

Every waking hour

We break down in different combinations

We spin around in smaller constellations

Took a ride on the love wheel

Scary, scary go-round and around

Honey, honey, I don't want none of your money

I just want off before we hit the ground

Jaded, faded

[Pre-Chorus]

I don't want to be your friend

Jaded, I hate it

I don't want to be your slave

Saw you hanging around the avenue baby

So I got down outta my tree

I think I need a little animal, honey

Come on and shake a little monkey with me

Jaded, faded

[Chorus]

Oh, I don't want to be afraid

Jaded, I hate it

I don't want to be your slave

Every waking hour

We break down in smaller combinations

We spin around in different constellations

Want to be right there to carry you away

Knowing that our love will last through the day

It's the same thing

Going to be here on the light, on the light

I want to see me, see me going away

I've been gone such a long time

Leaving again today

Leaving someday
