Hey, b Meet me Southeast on the downbeat With your khaki string vest intact Though you're handsome, there's a red sun And I can't help wonder what's next Then you ask me "What do you want from all our weekends in whiskey sour?" Told you I don't vouch for love, G It takes too much of my power Oh, can't stay too long I might stain someone 'Round and 'round I go Got to set the tone In the hands of none That's where I belong Spending nights in lonely castles Where I learned to sing my cries Sweetest 16, thrown to test me I could not sit still if I tried Learning to run before I could walk out Learning to cuss before I could talk it out Nah, nah, nah Oh, can't stay too long I might stay in someone 'Round and 'round I go Got to set the tone In the hands of none That's where I belong No hands (no, no hands) Nobody cradles me like I can No, like I can No hands (no, no hands) Nobody cradles me like I can No, like I can Oh, can't stay too long I might stain someone 'Round and 'round I go Got to set the tone In the hands of none That's where I belong That's where I belong

Didn't take time to tell All our love was in decline You were fresh off the shelf But you lacked the new-born shine See I've got tendencies that make me eager To lose what I once tried to fight for Spoilt child and the tender truth He's got similar eyes And I think I'd wear him well Probably won't treat me right But I'm buying what he sells No, no, it's not a misdemeanor To wonder if the grass is greener The devil will dance while I take my chance I don't worry that you'll leave me, I just worry I'll leave you I don't trust myself to make the right move I got a bad feeling Such a bad feeling I wonder if I'm leaving I got a bad feeling Hips are starting to shake 'Cause his lips have set a tone He's a stranger but I Would still let him take me home Hold me back, loyalty's breaking I'm leaving before I mistake him For my own (Crooksie get your bag and go now) I don't worry that you'll leave me, I just worry I'll leave you I don't trust myself to make the right move I got a bad feeling Such a bad feeling I wonder if I'm leaving I got a bad feeling Coca-Cola but it's bitter like it's lemonade Not a winner, all the ladies seem to know your name I've got to get my shit together, live up to my name 'Cause all that this can lead to, is an unfamiliar game I got a bad feeling Such a bad feeling I wonder if I'm leaving I got a bad feeling Bad, bad feeling, feeling Such a bad feeling, feeling Bad, bad feeling, feeling Such a bad feeling
