Sheepskin Tearaway Lyrics

She opened her heart to a tearaway
Sheepskin tearaway
He was full of scars and full of heroin
Though she thought from the start
That not one single thing would ever be ok
Though she was proved wrong anyway
She opened her heart to a tearaway
At night he thought she was asleep
They held on tight in the dark
And she heard him say
"All my life I've been fighting
And making the best of a very bad lot in here"

She opened her heart to a tearaway
He was full of scars and hero....
Though she thought from the start
That not one single thing would ever be ok
Still she opened her heart, her door, her purse and her heart
Tearaway
To a tearaway
Sheekspin tearaway
She opened her heart to a sheepskin tearaway
She she sheepskin tearaway
She she she Sheepskin Tearaway

She opened her heart to a tearaway, Sheepskin Tearaway
She opened her heart to a tearaway, Sheepskin Tearaway
She opened her heart to a tearaway, Sheepskin Tearaway
She opened her heart to a tearaway, Sheepskin Tearaway
She opened her heart to a tearaway, Sheepskin Tearaway
..
She knew from the start
That not one single thing would ever be ok
She opened her heart to a tear-away
Tearaway, sheepskin tearaway
She opened her heart to a tear-away
Tearaway, sheepskin tearaway
She opened her heart to a tear-away

At nite they held on tight in the dark
And as she brushed her hair away, she heard him say
All my life I've been fighting and making the best
Of a very bad lot inde-e-e-ed

Though she was proved wrong anyway
She opened her heart to a tearaway
At night he thought she was asleep
They held on tight in the dark
And she heard him say 
"All my life I've been fighting
And making the best of a very bad lot in here"

At nite they held on tight in the dark
And as she brushed her hair away, she heard him say
All my life I've been fighting and making the best

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.
