Self Respect Is Over-rated Songtext
First and foremost
Nothing compares to the pity-full stares
That you toss across the room and expect me to catch onto
Don't believe when they say that you're so innocent
Cause the penalty of law
Clearly states that the punishment for leading on is death
But if I wanted to die I'd light another cigarette
"If I wanted to die I'd light another cigarette"
But I'll leave that up to you
I told you once
I told you a thousand times
I can't confide (in you)
Cause you told me a thousand lies
So I'm on my own.......
When it's over and
Nothing's left you can show up at my door
Expecting an apology or maybe something more
Cause I wouldn't doubt that they'd tell you that you're innocent
But the penalty of law
Clearly states that the punishment for leading on is death
And I've got nothing left to say to you
"I've got nothing left to say to you"
Empty bars and beat up cars
Paint our summer portrait and November never seemed so warm
Until I had you by my side
Your heart is pumping faster than you ever thought it could
Your heart is pumping faster than you ever thought it could
And you can't slow down for nothing
"And you can't slow down for nothing"
And your heart is pumping faster than you ever thought it could
But when I came out on top I was nothing special
Nothing compares to the pity-full stares
That you toss across the room and expect me to catch onto
Don't believe when they say that you're so innocent
Cause the penalty of law
Clearly states that the punishment for leading on is death
But if I wanted to die I'd light another cigarette
"If I wanted to die I'd light another cigarette"
But I'll leave that up to you
I told you once
I told you a thousand times
I can't confide (in you)
Cause you told me a thousand lies
So I'm on my own.......
When it's over and
Nothing's left you can show up at my door
Expecting an apology or maybe something more
Cause I wouldn't doubt that they'd tell you that you're innocent
But the penalty of law
Clearly states that the punishment for leading on is death
And I've got nothing left to say to you
"I've got nothing left to say to you"
Empty bars and beat up cars
Paint our summer portrait and November never seemed so warm
Until I had you by my side
Your heart is pumping faster than you ever thought it could
Your heart is pumping faster than you ever thought it could
And you can't slow down for nothing
"And you can't slow down for nothing"
And your heart is pumping faster than you ever thought it could
But when I came out on top I was nothing special
