Lyrics

[Intro]

You've got what I want

[Verse 1]

Oh yeah!

It's only for the night

And I will give it back tomorrow I swear

She can barely breathe

Don't stare

I know the dress is tight

But it was all I had to wear

Give me what I need

Please share

You know it's only right

And I would never lie to you

I wouldn't dare

[Chorus]

I made a promise to myself

I wouldn't start with anyone else but

You know how it is with these promises

Made in the heat of the moment

[Bridge]

They're made to be broken in two

Sometimes the only thing to do

[Verse 2]

Oh no!

It's all coming back

How I came to in a sticky three-day hole

Didn't see the sign

Go slow

Too busy tuning static on the radio

She hissed it in a song

Don't go

It always fades to black

But that's why I love the trip

It's so inevitable

[Chorus]

I made a promise to myself

I wouldn't start with anyone else but

You know how it is with these promises

Made in the heat of the moment

[Bridge]

They're made to be less than they seem

Whenever you've got what I need

[Verse 3]

And you've got what I need

Aaaiiieee!

For service with a smile

I have to walk in on my hands

And roll for free

You say it's all the same

Ennui

You're not the real snow white

The real snow white is on my knee

I didn't need to get ID

It's simply minimum height

And getting all dressed up

In seven ways to please

[Chorus]

I made a promise to myself

I wouldn't start with anyone else but

You know how it is with these promises

Made in the heat of the moment

[Bridge]

They're made to be broken one day

If there's no time to get away

[Verse 4]

Uh-oh!

She wasn't made to shine

She was really only ever made to glow

I left her in the dark

No show

Quiet sucking on a line

It was a tricky gun to load

And I didn't get to fire

Hi-ho!

She's off to work for time

I should have finished out with higher

Up than low

[Chorus]

I made a promise to myself

I wouldn't start with anyone else but

You know how it is with these promises

Made in the heat of the moment

They're made before right becomes wrong

Whenever you've got what I want

[Outro]

And you've got what I want

Oh yeah!

It's only for the night

And I will give it back tomorrow

I swear
