[Verse]

Call me a rogue

Call me a liar

And a cheat

Tell me I'm lying through my teeth

Maybe I am

Maybe I am


[Verse]

Call me a fool

Call me a scumbag

And a thief

Tell me I'm causing too much grief

Well maybe I am

Maybe I am


[Verse]

But all I know is

Times are hard without a heart

Why don't you play your part and tell me

Where to start

I'm sayin' love is dead and so is God

Why don't you take your heart and sew it back together


[Verse]

I don't know what I've been told

"How 'bout you stay up late waitin' for a ghost

Check underneath your bed and above your head"

And if you find your way the come back a-crawlin' saying


[Refrain]

"La da da la ba ba da da da da

La da da la ba ba da

He'll either wind up dead or not right in the head

Stuck in a padded room with an empty bed"

"La da da la ba ba da da da da

La da da la ba ba da

He'll take his votes on black but he'll end up red

And he'll remember dread next time he makes a bet"
