Sanoja: John Hiatt. Down in Front.
I spend so much time tryin'
To learn all your languages
I got nothin' to say
It's all cheap talk in kind
And a matter of time
Some fool gets his way
Down on his knees
He says I've got this feelin'
That you're not
That kind of girl
And no one knows better
As he takes off your sweater
Just what he means
When he's promised you the world
Down in front
That's all they want
Just two square inches
He's a snake in britches
Shakin' your head
As you lie with the enemy
So much louder than words
And all that you felt
One more notch in his belt
Well, have you heard?
You got no heart for
These bullets he's loaded with
They just light up the sky
And who needs a hero
When it's zero to zero
I don't know, baby
It's just an alibi
Down in front
That's all they want
Just two square inches
He's a snake in britches
You could be any one
Who can't be bothered with names
Turn off the lites turn the
Latch, it's just more of the same, yeah
Down in front
Well, that's all they want
Just two square inches
He's a snake in britches
Down in front
That's all they want
Just two square inches
There are snakes in britches
Down in front
That's all they want
Just two square inches
There are snakes in britches
Down in front
That's all they want
Just two square inches
There are snakes in britches
