My Papa told me to stay out of trouble
“When you’ve found your man, make sure he’s for real!”
I’ve learned that nothing really lasts forever
I sleep with the scars I wear that won’t heal
they won’t heal
Cos every time I seem to fall in love
Crash! Boom! Bang!
I find the heart but then I hit the wall
Crash! Boom! Bang!
That’s the call, that’s the game
and the pain stays the same
I’m walking down this empty road to nowhere
I pass by the houses and blocks I once knew
My Mama told me not to mess with sorrow
but I always did, and Lord, I still do
I’m still breaking the rules
I kick it up
I kick it down
Cos every time I seem to fall in love
Crash! Boom! Bang!
I find the heart but then I hit the wall
Crash! Boom! Bang!
that’s my real middle-name
it has always been the same
that’s the call, that’s the game
and the pain stays the same.
I still feel the heat
slowly fallin’ from the sky
and the taste of the kissing
shattered by rain
comin’ tumblin’ from behind
and the wild holy war
I kick it up
I kick it down
Cos every time I seem to fall in love
Crash! Boom! Bang!
I find the roses dying on the floor
Crash! Boom! Bang!
that’s the call, that’s the game
and the pain stays the same
that’s my real middle-name
it has always been the same
Oh Yea Oh Yea Oh Yea Uh-huh
been the same, been the same
it has always been the same
