Stitched Up

Exactly how you hear it, is exactly how it all went down...

It was later in the evening

That the facts and the figures got turned around

True, there was a woman

Yes, she did advance my way

And I can't be sure exactly but I swear I saw her say my name

It was the right time

She was the real thing

I had to walk away

(See) Don't wanna be, stitched up out of my mind

Feeling strung out, laggin' behind

All trapped in, can't do a thing because I'm

Locked down

Stitched up, feeling the burn

All strung out, I finally learn that

Trapped in, can't do a thing because I'm

Locked down

I wonder where she came from

I wonder where she's gotta go

Who's to say she's single

And who's to say she's on her own

Girls like that don't sleep alone

(Alright here's the thing, here's the thing)

That girl is flawless, and I know I'm not the first one to think that

And since I'm not the first, I sure won't be the last

I'd spend my whole life looking behind my back

I just don't think I'm up to that

Stitched up, out of my mind

Feeling strung out, laggin' behind

All trapped in, can't do a thing because I'm

Locked down

Stitched up, feeling the burn

All strung out, I finally learn that

Trapped in you can't do a thing because you're

Locked down

Stitched up, out of my mind

Feeling strung out, laggin' behind

All trapped in, I can't do a thing because I'm

Locked down

Stitched up, feeling the burn

All strung out, I finally learn that

Trapped in you can't do a thing because you're

Locked down

Locked down

Stitch me up, string me out

Trap me in, lock me down

Stitch me up, string me out

Trap me in, lock me down

I don't wanna be

Stitch me up, string me out

Trap me in, lock me down

Stitch me up, string me out

Trap me in, lock me down

Because I'm down and down and down (oooh)
