Lyrics
Like A Glove
Hey, where are you going?
And whose that guy standin? next to you
Well, I never really liked cretins
Well, he?s short & hairy and carries a gun too
I never knew nothin? about love
The other shoe don?t fit like a glove
Hey, there?s a role reversal
I don?t think I can get used to this
Well I am not too controversial
But the more beer I drink the more I?m pissed
I never knew nothin? about love
The other shoe don?t fit like a glove
Are you a fair weather friend?
I think I?m at my rope?s end
I feel like I?m just killing time
Cause I can?t stop on just one thin dime
I never knew nothin? about love
The other shoe don?t fit like a glove
Caught between two worlds and all alone
I wanted to go back but you can?t go home
You put me too high put I could not fly
Now you?ll find I?ve fallen from a pedestal
Lessons learned
I never knew nothin? about love
The other shoe don?t fit like a glove
