Tattooed Love Boys - The Pretenders

The mid-twenty joys

Around a heart that’s black and blue

Tattooed love boys

I tore my knees up getting to you

'Cause I needed

To find out what the thing was for

Been reading

Man, the time came to explore

I went apewire

'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

Yeah

A good time

Was guaranteed for one and all

The tattoos

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 tires

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
