Lyrics

Whipping Boy

[Verse 1]

Since then I never feel helpless

Recess, this mess if you do

And I find that even time well spent

Gets bent if you need it to, we do

By now I've showed you how much

I believe in the here

And now and I wish that you knew

[Chorus]

Lay all you want on me

Lay all you want on me

Lay all you want on me

I'll be your whipping boy

[Verse 2]

You spilled your purse onto my bed

Searching for something for your head

Since then you never come clean

I mean you wish you only could

[Chorus]

Lay all you want on me

Lay all you want on me

Lay all you want on me

I'll be your whipping boy

[Bridge]

I can get up, I can get up, I can get up

I can get up, I can get up, I can get up

I can get up, I can get up, I can get up

I can get up, I can get up, I can get up

I can get up, I can get up, I can get up

I can get up, I can get up, I can get up

And I find that even time well spent

Gets bent if you need it to, we do, we do

[Chorus]

Lay all you want on me

Lay all you want on me

Lay all you want on me

I'll be your whipping boy

Lay all you want on me

Lay all you want on me

Lay all you want on me

I'll be your whipping boy

[Outro]

I'll be your whipping boy

I'll be your whipping boy
