Scoundrel

I saw you comin from a mile away

I knew that you were gonna hurt me

I knew the very first thing you’d say

was gonna make me feel dirty

and all my friends say I should run away   

cus baby you’re a scoundrel

your arms are open           

but you never do a thing you’re told

baby you’re a scoundrel

I’m only hopin

you’re a scoundrel with a heart of gold

I heard the music comin out your mouth

I saw you look at me the way you did

you got the swagger of the dirty south

but you’re as tragic as an orphan kid

and all my friends say I should run away   

cus baby you’re a scoundrel

your arms are open           

but you never do a thing you’re told

baby you’re a scoundrel

I’m only hopin

you’re a scoundrel with a heart of gold

just when I thought that I was all cleaned up

and I’d had enough

of the likes of you

you got me beggin for the harder stuff

I can’t help myself

I’m a scoundrel too!

baby you’re a scoundrel

your arms are open

but you never do a thing you’re told

baby you’re a scoundrel

I’m only hopin

you’re a scoundrel with a heart of gold
