Back away, boy, keep your hands where I can see them
This isn't a game though, get out while you can
Before they have to lock me away
"Joey, when are you coming home?"
She asked me
I'm doing the best I can
And I will take you across the state
Like an animal with bare hands
She can't remember looking at her reflection
or the words that left her lips and now they're pumping through my finger tips
Sweetheart, they will never keep you from my arms
The scars deep inside of you could break my heart
No,they won't be keeping me from you
And don't you believe them.
Girl your still as beautiful as the one I always knew
Stay back, stay back, stay back away
Keep your hands where I can see them
This isn't a game, Though, get while you can
Before they have to lock me away
"Joey have you got a ball and a glove?"
She asked me
"Well what are you going to do?"
She said "A bat is still a weapon unless you've got the other two."
And now the glass is falling from her face
My conviction is starting to slip
Now it's pumping through my finger tips
Sweetheart, they will never keep you from my arms
The scars deep inside of you could break my heart
No,they won't be keeping me from you
And don't you believe them.
Girl your still as beautiful as the one I always knew
Well if killing him is what you want
Then you better make is slow
make it slow
make it slow
Well if killing him is what you want
We're gonna make it slow
Sweetheart, they will never keep you from my arms
The scars deep inside of you could break my heart
No,they won't be keeping me from you
And don't you believe them.
Girl your still as beautiful as the one I always knew
If killing him is what you want better make it slow
Back away, boy, keep your hands where I can see them This isn't a game though, get out while you can Before they have to lock me away
