Talking 'bout a pain that looked a lot like love
Coming at me through some tricky eyes
Frankly speaking, I thought I had a lot to gain
But lost it all to the sweet disguise
Now I am my one and only
But I know she's not so lonely
Someday you're gonna hear the chime
Of the clock
It's tick-tock
So give me
My body still moves on through its given time
But my heart's waiting there by the turnstyle
She looked a lot like love
She looked a lot like love
Now this is my degragation
Con-tin-ing-you education
Someday you're gonna see that I'm
More than just a score on your borderline
My body still moves on through its given time
But my heart's waiting there by the turnstyle
My heart's waiting by the turnstyle
But you're turning your back
The turnstyle
But you still don't come back, no
The turnstyle
Though your style is wack
You left me standing there by the Turnstyle
I know you're going to blame it all on my prevention
Holding me down in detention
Missing all your good intention
Oh now hide inside the tension
We create on this ascension
Oh I pray someday you turn and finally learn your f*cking lesson
I hope you learn your lesson someday
