Longshot - Vertigo

Oh girl, you’re coming on way too strong

Relax, and let me do my job

Whoa, this is so typical

For a girl to act innocent

I’m down, with all my money spent, oh yeah hands down

You’re not the only girl to whom all my love went

I’ve been down for a long time running

And babe I can live without you shunning me

Was it something I said that made you forget

That I am a man, not just a kid?

And if I play my cards right, maybe just one night

You won’t show me the door instead of your bed

And me, yeah I’ve been through a lot

You are, you are

Me, yeah I’ve been through a lot

You are a longshot

It’s safe to say that she will rob you blind

Forget your feelings and catch a train with no goodbye

Well that’s how she is designed

Glamour’s not what I’m chasing

And I’m sorry girl, you just won’t get it from me

I’m locked on to the lovely lethality

Is it safe?

Your decisions are so off base

This city’s watered down

It’s safe to say she’s right, she’s got me singing loud

So take a bow

You caught me by surprise

And fed me for a long time

That your love wasn’t a crime

You said your love wasn’t a crime

Was it something I said that made you forget

That I am a man, not just a kid?

And if I play my cards right maybe just one night

You won’t show me the door
