"Tattooed Love Boys"
The Pretenders
  
  
  
  
  
I ran twenty doors 
Around the house, black and blue 
Between love boys 
Tore my knees up getting tattooed 
Cause I needed, to find out what the thing was for 
Been reading, a man time came to explore 
  
I went apewire 
Cause I thought, like I like it 
Little tease, but I didn't mean it 
But you mess with the goods doll, you gotta pay 
  

A good time was guaranteed for one and all 
With tattoos, target practice in the hall 
While waiting for their number to get called 
While I, I, I found what the wait was about 
  

I was a good time 
Yeah, I got pretty good 
Changing tires, upstairs bro 
I shot my mouth off and he showed me what that hole was for 
  

Now I see you, all impressed and half-undressed, 
You got paint stick, all over the scars, lumps and bumps 
Tattooed love boys got you where I used to lay 
But ha ha, too bad 
You know what they say 
  

Stop sniffling 
You're gonna make some plastic surgeon a rich man 
Oh, but the prestige and the glory 
Another human interest story 
You are that
