Golden Calf or not
I bet you're still talking 'bout me ugly
I never wanted her to give me all she's got
And I never wanted her to love me
But just like you I was drawn to her eyes
Just like you she went and left me
Just like you I can't forget the night
Watching that pretty thing undressing
And you said she can run around with anyone but me
I couldn't play by your rules boy and neither could she
So I laid her down in a gossamer gown on the same bed that you did
And the shadows played on the wall
As she told me your closet talk
It's funny you'd think I care at all what you see in me
You're crazy calling that girl a whore
Cried like a baby behind the door
Your temper tantrums settle your scores
She talks to anything that breathes
Call me whatever you need
Well, boy you've got it wrong
Golden Calf or not
I bet you're too dumb to know the difference
You're talking like a saint, saying "throw it in the fire"
Even though you're the one who built him
Gathered the jewelry, and melted it down
Made for yourself to go idolize
If that wasn't me
I already jumped town
Catching up to your runaway bride
And you said she can mop the floor with any modern man
I wish I played by your rules boy, 'cause now I know she can
She took my heart in a parking lot
From the moment we first kissed
Now I'm stuck in some firing line
Between my girl and a waste of time
A shot from loving all through the night
I'm not so different than you
High as a kite on the church pew there
So infantile in your wild despairs
I get it boy, you're the perfect pair
But that kind of love, it takes two
So call me, whatever you do
But when the party's over honey
And your key to the kingdom don't fit the new lock
And everybody's shoving camels through the eye of the needle
And you're punching the clock
Yeah, when your new squeeze talks both your ears off baby
And you've got that open road feeling
Send your regards when your heart is ripe for the stealing
Well, boy you've got it wrong Golden Calf or not I bet you're still talking 'bout me ugly I never wanted her to give me all she's got And I never wanted her to love me But just like you I was drawn to her eyes Just like you she went and left me Just like you I can't forget the night Watching that pretty thing undressing And you said she can run around with anyone but me I couldn't play by your rules boy and neither could she So I laid her down in a gossamer gown on the same bed that you did And the shadows played on the wall As she told me your closet talk It's funny you'd think I care at all what you see in me You're crazy calling that girl a whore Cried like a baby behind the door Your temper tantrums settle your scores She talks to anything that breathes Call me whatever you need Well, boy you've got it wrong Golden Calf or not I bet you're too dumb to know the difference You're talking like a saint, saying "throw it in the fire" Even though you're the one who built him Gathered the jewelry, and melted it down Made for yourself to go idolize If that wasn't me I already jumped town Catching up to your runaway bride And you said she can mop the floor with any modern man I wish I played by your rules boy, 'cause now I know she can She took my heart in a parking lot From the moment we first kissed Now I'm stuck in some firing line Between my girl and a waste of time A shot from loving all through the night I'm not so different than you High as a kite on the church pew there So infantile in your wild despairs I get it boy, you're the perfect pair But that kind of love, it takes two So call me, whatever you do But when the party's over honey And your key to the kingdom don't fit the new lock And everybody's shoving camels through the eye of the needle And you're punching the clock Yeah, when your new squeeze talks both your ears off baby And you've got that open road feeling Send your regards when your heart is ripe for the stealing Explain Request ×
