Lyrics

Damage Control

Dum, dum-dum-dum
Dum-dum-dum, dum-dum, dum-dum
Ta-la-da-la-da-dum, dum-dum-dum
Hmm

Whoever said that pretty girls will never need a chaser
Didn't know what it's like to be loved by you, yeah
You either love or hate me
It's a thin line with you, baby
But I think I know just what to do, it's

Damage control, I think we both know
Tonight might be the last time, damn, we had it all
Damage control, right before we go
Let's make one last memory of how we used to, oh, oh-oh-oh

Dum, da-da-dum, da-da-dum, da-dum, da-dum
Ta-la-da-la-da-dum, dum-dum-dum
Hmm

The last thing you should remember
It's like the cold December
Wouldn't you rather be lost in a hot July? I
I'm just a man, not a soldier
I'd always rather choose to hold you
Why fight in a war that I just won't win, yeah

Damage control, I think we both know
Tonight might be the last time that we had it all
Damage control, right before we go
Let's make one last memory of how we used to, oh, oh-oh-oh

Dum, da-da-dum, da-da-dum, da-dum, da-dum
Ta-la-da-la-da-dum, dum-dum-dum
Hmm, mm-hmm
Dum, da-da-dum, da-da-dum, da-dum, da-dum
Ta-la-da-la-da-dum, dum-dum-dum, mm, mm
