My papa told me
to stay out of trouble
When you've found your man
make sure he's for real
I've learned that nothing
really lasts forever
I sleep with the scars
I wear that won't heal
They won't heal
Cause every time
I seem to fall in love
Crash boom bang
I find the heart
but then I hit the wall
Crash boom bang
That's the call
that's the game
and the pain
stays the same
I'm walking down this
empty road to nowhere
I pass by the houses
and blocks I once knew
My mama told me
not to mess with sorrow
But I always did
and Lord I still do
I'm still breaking the rules
I kick it up
I kick it down
Cause every time
I seem to fall in love
Crash boom bang
I find the heart
but then I hit the wall
Crash boom bang
That's my real
middle name
It has always
been the same
That's the call
that's the game
and the pain
stays the same
I still feel the heat
and the taste
of the kissing
Shattered by rain
and the wild
holy war
Oh-ohh
I kick it up
I kick it down
And every time
I seem to fall in love
Crash boom bang
I find the roses
dying on the floor
Crash boom bang
That's the call
that's the game
and the pain
stays the same
That's my real
middle name
It has always
been the same
Oh yeah
Oh yeah
It has always
been the same
It has always been the same
