Too bad, she's got you by the balls
You can't get free at all
She's got your name, she's got your number
You're screaming like thunder
And you can't get away from it all
It's too bad, she's got you by the balls
You can't break loose at all
She's got your name, she's got your number
You're screaming like thunder
And you're trapped like a rat in a hole
It's too bad, she's got you by the balls
She's nailed you to the wall
It's a shame but it's funny
She crashed your car, she spent your money
And you can't get away from it all
It's too bad, she grabbed a handful
And you can't get away from it all
It's too bad, ooh and it's painful
And you can't break away from this at all
And you can't get away from it all
It's too bad
She's got you by the balls
She's got your name, she's got your number
You're screaming blue murder
And you can't get away from it all
It's too bad, she's got you by the balls
She's got you by the balls
She's got you by the balls
She's got you by
It's too bad, it's too bad
It's too bad, it's too bad
It's so sad, it's so sad
It's too bad, it's too bad
It's too bad, it's too bad
It's too bad, it's too bad
