Tattooed Love Boys lyrics

The mid-twenty joys, around a heart that's black and blue

The tattooed love boys, I tore my knees up getting to you

Cause I needed to find out what the thing was for been reading

But man the time came to explore

I went ape wire, cause I thought

Like I'd like it, little tease, but I didn't mean it

But you mess with the goods doll

Honey you gotta pay

A good time was guaranteed for one and all

The tattoos did target practice in the hall

While waiting for their number to get called out

I, I, I, I found out what the wait was about

I was a good time, yeah, I got pretty good

At changing tyres, upstairs bro

I shot my mouth off

And you showed me what that hole was for

Now I see you all impressed and half undressed

You got paint stick all over the scars and lumps and bumps

Tattooed love boys have got you where I used to lay

Well ha ha and too bad, but you know what they say

Stop snivellin'

You're gonna make some plastic surgeon a rich man

Oh, but the prestige and the glory

Another human interest story, you are that
