my papa told me to stay out of trouble
"when you've found your man make sure he's for real"
i've learned that nothing really lasts forever
i sleep with the scars i wear that won't heal
they won't heal
cos every time i seem to fall in love
crash boom bang
i find the heart but then i hit the wall
crash boom bang
that's the call that's the game and the pain stays the same
i'm walking down this empty road to nowhere
i pass by the houses and blocks i once knew
my mama told me not to mess with sorrow
but i always did and lord i still do
i'm still breaking the rules
i kick it up
i kick it down
cos every time i seem to fall in love
crash boom bang
i find the heart but then i hit the wall
crash boom bang
that's my real middle-name
it has always been the same
that's the call that's the game and the pain stays the same
i still feel the heat
slowly fallin' from the sky
and the taste of the kissing
shattered by rain
comin' tumblin' from behind
and the wild holy war
i kick it up
i kick it down
and every time i seem to fall in love
crash boom bang
i find the roses dying on the floor
crash boom bang
that's the call that's the game and the pain stays the same
that's my real middle-name
it has always been the same
oh yea oh yea oh yea uh-huh
been the same been the same
it has always been the same
