8 Dead Boys
Sit right down cause you're a friend
You know there ain't too many left of them
You said I want love, I want it all
You look better now than last time
But you still look better from afar
The life that you wanted was not in store
You're being the dark horse again
Hello, Hello
Hello, My Love (x3)
Stop your moaning and I'll give you a taster
They give you and line and they call you a waster
Give you a line, oh what a waster
So don't!
You say you will or you won't
Do or you don't (x3)
Cause you look better now than the last time
But you're still no better than before
The life that you wanted wasn't in store
You're being the dark horse again
Hello, Hello
Hello, My Love (x3)
When it suits you, you're a friend of mine (x15)
Cause you look better now than the last time
But you're still no better than before
The life that you wanted wasn't in store
You're being the dark horse again
Cause you look better now than the last time
But you're still no better than before
The life that you wanted wasn't in store
You're being the dark horse again
