Kiss off

I need someone, a person to talk to

Someone who'd care to love

Could it be you?

Could it be you?

The situation gets rough, and I start to panic

It's not enough, it's just a habit

And, kid, you're sick

Well, darling, this is it

Well, you can all just kiss off into the air

Behind my back, I can see them stare

They'll hurt me bad, but I won't mind

They'll hurt me bad, they do it all the time (yeah, yeah!)

Yeah, they do it all the time (yeah, yeah!)

They do it all the time (do it all the time!)

They do it all the time (do it all the time!)

They do it all the time, do it all the time

I hope you know that this will go down on your permanent record!

Oh, yeah? Well, don't get so distressed

Did I happen to mention that I'm impressed?

I take one, one, one 'cause you left me

And two, two, two for my family

And three, three, three for my heartache

And four, four, four for my headaches

And five, five, five for my lonely

And six, six, six for my sorrow

And seven, seven for no tomorrow

And eight, eight, I forget what eight was for

But nine, nine, nine for the lost gods

Ten, ten, ten, ten for everything, everything, everything

Well, you can all just kiss off into the air

Behind my back, I can see them stare

They'll hurt me bad, but I won't mind

They'll hurt me bad, they do it all the time (yeah, yeah!)

Yeah, they do it all the time (yeah, yeah!)

They do it all the time (do it all the time!)

They do it all the time (do it all the time!)

They do it all the time, do it all the time, do it all the time.
