The Robbery Lyrics by The Ready Set

Syntax and Bright Lights

2008

[Intro]
Darling don't you mess around
Showing your face on my side of town
The set of my home's not the size
Adequate enough to host both our lives

[Verse 1]
She says that I am all that I was
I tend to disagree
A gunshot to the leg has sickened me
I'm out of the ring and into the fire
Ten steps and send his best
And I was on the ground singing-

[Pre-Chorus]
Well I'm leaving this town
'Cause I've had enough of this life

[Chorus]
Don't touch me, don't find me out
I tend to want things more than I really deserve them
Your best bet is missing out
When you call for me
I'll come running like I do, like I do, you know

[Verse 2]
And when I'd said that I'd had enough, had enough
You still cease to run your mouth, run your mouth, oh
While any other day I'd be cool and nonchalant
Don't you tell me that, don't you feed me lies, princess
You tumble through the row like dust
Maybe, baby, I'll see you

[Pre-Chorus]
Well I'm leaving this town
'Cause I've had enough of this life

[Chorus]
Don't touch me, don't find me out
I tend to want things more than I really deserve them
Your best bet is missing out
When you call for me
I'll come running like I do, like I do, you know

[Bridge]
All my life
All my life
Don't touch me, don’t find me out
I tend to want things more than I really deserve them
