Oh, the loneliest girl in townIs bought for pennies a priceWe dress her up in lovely gownsShe's easy on the eyesHer soul is black and it's a factThat her sneer will eat you aliveAnd the buyer always brings her backBecause all she does is crySo take what you want, take what you canTake what you please, don't give a damnAsk for forgiveness, never permissionTake what you want, take what you canTake what you please, don't givе a damnIt's in the blood and this is traditionOoh-oohOh, the loneliеst girl in townWas bought for plenty a priceWell, they dress her up in golden crownsHis smile hides a lieShe smiles back, but it's a factThat her fear will eat her aliveWell, she got the life that she wantedBut now all she does is cryTake what you want, take what you canTake what you please, don't give a damnAsk for forgiveness, never permissionTake what you want, take what you canTake what you please, don't give a damnIt's in the blood and this is traditionYou can't take it back, it's good as goneWell, flesh amnesiac, this is your songAnd I hope what's left will last all summer longAnd they said that boys were boysBut they were wrongTake what you want, take what you canTake what you please, don't give a damnAsk for forgiveness, never permissionTake what you want, take what you canTake what you please, don't give a damnIt's in the blood and this is traditionTake what you want, take what you canTake what you please, don't give a damnAsk for forgiveness, never permissionTake what you want, take what you canTake what you please, don't give a damnIt's in the blood and this is tradition(It's good as gone)
