Lyrics

A Shot to the Arm

Hey there
I'm talking to you
You're trying to hide
But I'm bringing my toys to school

A shot to the arm
To show you who you are

There there
I'm only playing with you
A game to tell you how
To take it and dish it out

A shot to the arm
To show you who you are

Lyrics provided by LRCLIB
