The Loved Ones

[Verse 1]

Don't get smart or sarcastic

He snaps back just like elastic

Spare us the theatrics and the verbal gymnastics

We break wise guys just like matchsticks

[Pre-Chorus 1]

What would the loved ones say

(Your pride and joy is all blown up)

What would the loved ones say

(The bride and boy are barely grown up)

You're not my particular poison

I've got nothing against you myself

You could have been a danger to the boys and girls

Now you're a danger to yourself

[Chorus]

Oh, what would the loved ones say?

What would the loved ones say?

Oh, what would the loved ones say?

What would the loved ones say?

[Bridge]

The ugly little dreams run 'round your bed

The ugly little scenes you get the needle and no thread

They stitched you up this time

They say you'll do

They bitch about your pretty face turning ugly on you

[Verse 2]

The butcher, baker, and the bass-line maker

Say, "You can leave her I can take her"

You spend your whole life like a minute or two later

One day its going to end sooner than greater

[Pre-Chorus 2]

What would the loved ones say

(He'll be remembered young and pretty)

What would the loved ones say

(Now he's a hit in every city)

Now there's a name we'll never forget

There's one born every minute or two

Don't pin a medal on me yet

They might be waiting for you

[Chorus]

Oh, what would the loved ones say?

What would the loved ones say?

Oh, what would the loved ones say?

What would the loved ones say?
