Old Ruffian

A long night, I might as well have died We got into a fight because Katy lied What really hurt was something deep within In comparison the pavement felt soft on my skin What was she running from Was it what was next to come or the fact that she was bored and found me mettlesome? She threw her life away, just the other day, to some old ruffian because she had bills to pay So I say Stop playing the ruffian's game Take aim He will never let you go and he knows my name A while back I was all she had I took her in when she was suicidally sad She really got under my skin But I never knew just what was troubling her deep within What was she running from Was it what was next to come or the fact that she was bored and found me mettlesome? She threw her life away, just the other day, to some old ruffian because she had bills to pay So I say Stop playing the ruffian's game Take aim He will never let you go and he knows my name Take aim Stop playing the ruffian's game Believe me when I say He will never let you go and he knows my name What was she running from Was it what was next to come or the fact that she was bored and found me mettlesome? She threw her life away, just the other day, to some old ruffian because she had bills to pay
