This is a sequel to 2001's "Reckless Abandon", and features the band looking back on their clumsy youth fondly.
There is a little part of me
That wants the best for you
Can't help but wish the best was me
Coquette I bet you'd say I am
A vixen ripe for play
You sound so sincere when you say
I'm an open book
Despite my puzzled look
And coax me to confess
To all I never meant
This is the absolute last time
You'll fall in love with me
I nod my head like I agree
If I'm a siren in the night
You aim in vain to fight
I''ll fasten up my eyes
And feign a mild surprise
If I'm a siren in the night
You aim in vain to fight
I'll fasten up my eyes
And feign a mild surprise
You're free
But if you need me
I'll be here always
You say jump, I say how high
You say leave, I say goodbye
You say jump, I say how high
You say leave, I say goodbye
You say jump, I say how high
You say leave, I say goodbye
You're free
But if you need me
I'll be here always
I'm free
Here always
That wants the best for you
Can't help but wish the best was me
Coquette I bet you'd say I am
A vixen ripe for play
You sound so sincere when you say
I'm an open book
Despite my puzzled look
And coax me to confess
To all I never meant
This is the absolute last time
You'll fall in love with me
I nod my head like I agree
If I'm a siren in the night
You aim in vain to fight
I''ll fasten up my eyes
And feign a mild surprise
If I'm a siren in the night
You aim in vain to fight
I'll fasten up my eyes
And feign a mild surprise
You're free
But if you need me
I'll be here always
You say jump, I say how high
You say leave, I say goodbye
You say jump, I say how high
You say leave, I say goodbye
You say jump, I say how high
You say leave, I say goodbye
You're free
But if you need me
I'll be here always
I'm free
Here always
