Soft boys can only take it as far
as a taut rope with nothing to give
bound twine tight on my heart
but I'm fresh out of fucks to give
Soft boys can only pull rope so far
but all it takes is twine to keep me captive
and soft boys don't mind taking their time
but I'm fresh out of fucks to give
and I'm the same bitch when I'm down and out
as I am when you get me high
I'm the same bitch when you're not around
but you're a different boy every night
Shoot me down, shut me down
let's get it straight
fill me up, full of it
Let's get it straight
fill me up, full of it
Let's get it straight.
You wrapped me round your finger so now it's too late
to pull without unravelling, let's get it straight.
You know, soft boys will take take take take
but they always need you to give
and of course soft boys will fake fake fake
and ask you to laugh about it
Soft boys can do it if they black it out
and they like telling you what you wanna hear
Soft boys like you on your hands and knees
assuring hin that he's not a queer
but I'm the same bitch if I'm straight or gay
and you're a million different men every day
I'm losing patience trying to keep it up
this tragicomic passionless play
Shoot me down, shut me out
Let's get it straight
Let me down, let me out
Let's get this straight
