lyrics

If you want a Barbie doll
With an ass for brains
She'll get there
With a chart of demands
And „please baby not tonight, I got a headache“

If you want the money maker, babe
He'll find its way
He'll buy you whatever you want
It'll be years
Before you pay off that debt

I’m pretty sure people always
Get what they want
Like the church bells ringing
They won’t hear it
Like a stop sign flashing
They won’t see it
Like a simple act of kindness
They'll ignore it

I go back and forth
From hope to a hanging rope
Willing to try and eager to leave
Just so I don’t have to be the one
The one who let go

I’m pretty sure that I'll get exactly what I want
Like the church bells ringing I won't hear it
Like a stop sign flashing, I won’t see it
A simple act of kindness
I'll ignore it

I’m pretty sure that I'll get exactly what I want
But will I like it
I think I will not
