I'd rather shoot a woman than a man

I worry whether this is my last life

And girl, if you're listening

I'm sorry, I can't help it

O Dana

O Dana, come on

I'm forevermore fighting with Steven

We do our goo-goo coos

But we know

Overboard and down

And strung out twice

O Dana

O Dana, come on

We seldom know what things are

Two illusions go very far

O Dana

O Dana, come on

I got busted along the bridge

They rounded up every soul

Now I'm on the East Side

She says, "Don't give a girl a chance"

She's not afraid to take a chance

O Dana

O Dana, come on

She's got a magic wand

That says play with yourself before other ones

O Dana

O Dana, come on
