Lyrics:
you had a heart of gold
you had a heart of stone
i had a heart attack
i pulled you in?
you pushed me back
you’re not so innocent
you’re just a hypocrite
now turn me on
let me loose
blow me off
what’s you’re excuse
I’m not messing around
i want your autograph
i wanna touch you?
yeah
i’m not messing around
messing around
i want your autograph
your bones are pliable
so undeniable
cannot commit to words
words are indescribable
if i had my way
i’d eat you everyday
come a little closer
listen to the words i have to say
i’m not messing around
i want your autograph
i wanna touch you
yeah
i’m not messing around
messing around
i want your autograph
and you’ll just screw with my soul
your words they twist and fold
i need to learn to swallow them whole
swallow them whole
i want your autograph
can’t quite sleep in the middle of the night
you’re touching yourself
if you could see everything that i see
i can’t quite take this
i can’t quite break this
you can’t quite take this
you can’t quite break this
i’m not messing around
i want your autograph
i wanna touch you
touch you well
yeah
not messing around
i want your autograph
and you’ll just screw with my soul
your words they twist and fold
i need to learn to swallow them whole
swallow you whole
i want your autograph
