Verse 1:
I can rely on you to always let me down.
- and I'll trust you to never be around
You'll eat me out of house and home,
- you drink me dry
and steal from me.
- if we arrange to meet at 8 you'll be late guaranteed

Chorus:
Hey, hey, hey, I'll take you on again.

Verse 2:
You never complained and always came back wanting more.
- but I always got less than I had bargained for.
You compared me to an angel.
- yes lucifer
I fell for you.
Fall on someone else because I've better things I want to do.

Chorus:
Hey, hey, hey, I'll take you on again. 4x
