SHE WAS ALL ALONE
AT HALF PAST FOUR
AT AN ALL NIGHT
SMALL TOWN
CONVENIENT STORE
AND HE WALKED IN
AND LOCKED THE DOOR
BEHIND HIM
SHE DUCKED DOWN
BEHIND THE COUNTER
HE SAID GET UP
I KNOW
YOU'RE DOWN THERE
I'VE GOT A GUN
JUST HOLD ON
I'LL FIND IT
HE FUMBLED THROUGH
THE POCKETS
OF HIS FADED
DENIM JACKET
HANDED HER A NOTE
AND SAID
YOU'D BETTER DO
EXACTLY
WHAT IT SAYS
AND SHE READ
NOBODY LOVE
AND NOBODY
GETS HURT
SHE LOOKED AT HIM
WITH A NERVOUS GRIN
AND SHE POINTED
TO THAT WORD
AND HE SAID
WHAT THE HELL
I CAN'T SPELL
BUT YOU KNOW
WHAT I MEANT
AND SHE SAID YEAH
BUT THAT AIN'T
WHAT YOU SAID
SHE SAID
I DON'T THINK
YOU WANT TO DO THIS
SOUNDS TO ME
LIKE THERE'S MORE TO IT
HE SAID
SPARE YOUR VIEWS
ON MY ABUSIVE
CHILDHOOD
CAUSE THE LAST TIME
I SAW MY OLD MAN
WAS IN A PHOTOGRAPH
IN OUR GARBAGE CAN
HE NEVER GAVE A DAMN
SO TELL ME WHY I SHOULD
AND YOU DON'T KNOW
THE HALF OF ALL
THE DEMONS
THAT I'VE BATTLED
AND YOU AIN'T GONNA
SAVE ME
WITH YOUR MINDLESS
PSYCHO BABBLE
I'M DAMAGED GOODS
NOBODY LOVE
AND NOBODY
GETS HURT
AND AS HE
WALKED AWAY
IN THE POURIN' RAIN
SHE STILL COULD
HEAR THAT WORD
HE SAID
WHAT THE HELL
I CAN'T SPELL
BUT YOU KNOW
WHAT I MEANT
AND SHE SAID YEAH
BUT THAT AIN'T
WHAT YOU SAID
SHE SAID YEAH
BUT THAT AIN'T
WHAT YOU SAID
