Lyrics The Pretenders

The Pretenders

Tattooed Love Boys

I ran twenty doors around the house

Black and blue between love boys

Tore my knees up getting tattooed

'Cause I needed to find out what the thing was for

Been reading, a man time came to explore

I went apewire

'Cause I thought, like I like it

Little tease, but I didn't mean it

But you mess with the goods, doll, you gotta pay

A good time was guaranteed for one and all

With tattoos, target practice in the hall

While waiting for their number to get called

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

I was a good time

Yeah, I got pretty good

Changing tyres, upstairs bro

I shot my mouth off and he showed me what that hole was for

Now I see you, all impressed and half-undressed

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

Tattooed love boys got you where I used to lay

But ha ha, too bad

You know what they say

Stop sniffling

You're gonna make some plastic surgeon a rich man

Oh, but the prestige and the glory

Another human interest story

You are that
