Lyrics

Can't Take You Anywhere

[Verse 1]

Lust is your favorite game

It's the sound you make when you're in flame

You call it love, with your eyes on fire

Anyone alive fits your desire

Honestly, I can't make it up

I give in, wasted all my days on you

And your fools, let 'em go

[Chorus 1]

Can't take you anywhere

'Cause you'll just do it again

I can't take you anywhere

'Cause you'll get messy with all my friends

[Verse 2]

You, in your constant pains

Never-ending bends, on your bed of stains

Throw in the towel, 'cause I don't know how

To protect and save, regrets or shame or shame (Honestly)

[Chorus 2]

Can't take you anywhere

'Cause you'll just do it again

I can't take you anywhere

'Cause you'll get lippy with all my friends

I can't take you anywhere

'Cause I'm not holding your hand

I can't take you anywhere

'Cause you'll get messy with all my friends

[Bridge]

You'll get messy, messy with my friends (oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh)

Get messy with my friends

Get messy with my friends

Get messy with my friends

Get messy with my friends (in and out, in and out)

I can't make it out, I give in

Wasted all my days with you

And your fools, let 'em go

[Chorus 2]

I can't take you anywhere

'Cause you'll just do it again

I can't take you anywhere

'Cause you'll get lippy with all my friends

I can't take you anywhere

'Cause I'm not holding your hand

I can't take you anywhere

'Cause you'll get messy with all my friends (Get messy with my friends)

Can't take you anywhere (Get messy with my friends)

Can't take you anywhere (Get messy with my friends)

Can't take you anywhere  (Get messy with my friends)

'Cause you'll get messy with all my friends
