lyrics

Damaged Goods

Gentlemen she says please stay seated
I don’t stay in one place too long
With raging desire but no desire to feed it
She doesn’t need anyone

Isolation is her occupation
She’d love to let his love in
But no one likes to go where others have been
With enough regret she could bury a man

(refrain)
She doesn’t take it out on anybody
She takes it out on her own body
She believes pain cures pain
If damaged goods can never be good again

She showed up on his doorstep
Like an animal beat to death
He took her in and nursed her back to health
But he can’t keep her let alone keep her well

(refrain)

Now she’s got herself a good man
She doesn’t know what to do with him
He’s not afraid of the outcome
As much as he’s afraid of her intentions

(refrain)

No satisfaction no release
Even in security she screams
Don’t let me take me away
Reasons to go
Give me reasons to stay
