Just give me something I can understand Put the memory down in my hand One more look before you go From those sad eyes, that follow me
I went to work, left you alone The sun burns out as I come home I don't feel a thing before the pain I see those sad eyes, that follow me
She?s stopping traffic at the side at the road She said she?s hitching a ride down to Mexico I should have known I didn't treat her right She threw her best dress on and blew a kiss goodbye With those sad eyes, yeah those sad eyes
The house is empty and my sugar's gone It's hard to dream now that I'm alone My clothes are dirty and my bed is cold I miss the sad eyes, yeah those sad eyes I miss the sad eyes, that follow me
She's slopping traffic at the side of the road She said she's hitching a ride down to Mexico I should have known I didn't treat her right She threw her best dress on and blew a kiss goodbye With those sad eyes, that follow me Those sad eyes, that follow me
Just give me something I can understand Put the memory down in my hand One more look before you go
She's stopping traffic at the side of the road She said she's hitching a ride down to Mexico I should have known I didn't treat her right She threw her best dress on and blew a kiss goodbye With those sad eyes, that follow me Those sad eyes, that follow me, those sad eyes
It's been a long walk down this cold dark street She doesn't remember the faces of the men she meets She stops by the dumpster, looking for something to eat Stops by the laundromat, looking for a bit of heat
Oh, rose of Jericho How many times must you be bought and sold Oh, rose of Jericho Maybe it's time for you to come on home, come on home
You know she swears he had the bluest eyes Before he took her in the middle of the night She's just an angel, caught in the undertow She ended up on the dark side of the road
Oh, rose of Jericho How many times must you be bought and sold Oh rose of Jericho Maybe it's time for you to come on home
Only sixteen she's still a girl She's living on her own in this stone cold world She's the only thing for sale on this street tonight You can say what you want, but it's just not right
She's gone as far, as far as she can go She couldn't help it, she just didn't know She's someone's baby, she's someone's daughter Some mother's heart still waits with the water
Oh, rose of Jericho How many times must you be bought and sold Oh, rose of Jericho Maybe it's time for you to come on home
Oh, rose of Jericho How many times must you be bought and sold Oh, rose of Jericho Maybe it?s time for you to come home, come home
You say forget about it, don't let it weigh you down But lights are going on and there are kids all around I have to stay true, to what I wanna be Stay true, even if we disagree
All you want is bye bye baby You just wanna hear me On the radio, well I don't know All you want is bye bye baby You just want to see me On the TV screen, on the cover of seventeen
Children of war, begging please no more Is that the kind of thing you would like me to ignore I can see the look on their faces Why can't I tell it like it is
All you want is bye bye baby You just wanna hear me On the radio, well I don't know All you want is bye bye baby You just want to see me On the TV screen, on the cover of seventeen
Have you read the news today There's walls going up and walls falling It's not gonna go away Lovers leaving and leaders lying You can dance if you want to Find something new to do But I can't forget what's going on What's going on
All you want is bye bye baby You just wanna hear me On the radio, well I don't know All you want is bye bye baby You just want to see me On the TV screen, on the cover of seventeen
All you want is bye bye baby You just wanna hear me On the radio, well I don't know All you want is bye bye baby You just want to see me On the TV screen, on the cover of seventeen
Sip somethin' Come on, sip somethin' Sip somethin' I wouldn't drink that If I was you
With every sip of my drink, I get a little bit closer And when I'm tryin' to rethink I can't really get focused I wasn't try to be mean, I can see that it's hopeless 'Cause your persistence overpowers me I know you rollin' out with me
I was stayin' at the Shore Club, leanin' in the red room Seen this Tan Mami, she was fresh off the sand dunes Big bottles and models and poom-pooms Surroundin' my table, watchin' me like cable
My Dolce hat was low, Versace shades Had the Prada shoes on 'cause the world is a stage Lah lah in the air, it's a sky bar affair The glamorous life, I had my glass in the air
When my eyes connected with somethin' real real nice Like she finished her drink and started chewin' on my ice Her smile was bananas, teeth was pearly white That's when I realized it'll be a long night
The vibe was right, she was laced in all white Her French manicure traced the crown on my mic You ever try to focus, resist with all your might But every sip you take, pulls you deeper in the hype
With every sip of my drink, I get a little bit closer And when I'm tryin' to rethink I can't really get focused I'd try to be mean, I can see that it's hopeless 'Cause your persistence overpowers me I know you rollin' out with me
I'm talkin' tan lines, belly rings and things DJ rubbin' my thing, makin' my head swing All the honies was schemin' 'Cause the rocks in my ears was gleamin', oh God I must be dreamin'
My vision was blurry, the party was rockin' The tools was knockin', honey wanna get it poppin' Try my best to chill, she was fresh out of Brazil People was walkin' by makin' our drinks filled
What would you do, if you was a Don? In a position to wild out with a Brazilian blonde? Or maybe you a honey and it's hard to keep calm 'Cause you sippin' on somethin' and homeboy's the bomb
You dancin' in your seat, and singin' along And every sip makes you feel like you need to perform The party is packed, it's just a little too warm But you take another sip to prove that you strong
With every sip of my drink, I get a little bit closer And when I'm tryin' to rethink I can't really get focused I wasn't try to be mean, I can see that it's hopeless 'Cause your persistence overpowers me I know you rollin' out with me
I can't call it, I can't tell honestly, I'm drunk as hell And me, I can not believe this night out is windin' down You keep buyin' all these rounds for me I know what you want from me
With every sip of my drink, I get a little bit closer And when I'm tryin' to rethink I can't really get focused I wasn't try to be mean, I can see that it's hopeless 'Cause your persistence overpowers me I know you rollin' out with me
With every sip of my drink, I get a little bit closer And when I'm tryin' to rethink I can't really get focused I wasn't try to be mean, I can see that it's hopeless 'Cause your persistence overpowers me I know you rollin' out with me
Roll out, roll out Roll out, roll out Roll out, roll out Roll out, roll out Yeah Yo Timbo bar's on you baby Yeah
