[Verse 1]

It was late and I'd been through all my money

Couldn't buy me that pretty little girl

"Good night, bum" was the lousy line she threw to me

Called me honey right before she blew my load

Now ain't that treatin' me bad?

Ain't it reason to kill?


[Chorus]

Ladies and gentlemen, that's the way it was

My head it ran with fuzz

I took it as reason to kill


[Verse 2]

She asked me if I'd like to have a good time

Double shots was her order of the night

Ran her hand higher up against my left thigh

Blew it all then she found another guy

Now ain't that treatin' me bad?

Ain't it reason to kill?


[Chorus]

Ladies and gentlemen, that's the way it was

My head it ran with fuzz

I saw it as reason to kill (Oh yeah)


[Guitar Solo]


[Verse 3]

So I waited to hear her say, "I'm sorry"

And I mooched me another drink or two

On her windshield I left her my remembrance

So she messed up my face with her shoe

Now ain't that treatin' me bad?

Ain't it reason to kill?


[Chorus]

Ladies and gentlemen, that's the way it was

My head it ran with fuzz

I took it as reason to kill

Ladies and gentlemen, that's the way it was

My head it ran with fuzz

I saw it as reason to kill
