The Pretenders
"Tattooed Love Boys"


The mid twenty joys around a heart that's black and blue
Tattooed love boys
I tore my knees up getting to you
'cause i needed
To find out what the thing was for
Been reading
But man the time came to explore


I went apewire 'cause i thought
Like i'd like it little tease
But i didn't mean it
But you mess with the goods doll, honey you gotta pay, yeah


A good time was guaranteed for one and all
The tattoos did target practice in the hall
While waiting for their number to get called out
I, i, i, i found out what the wait was about


I was a good time, yeah, i got pretty good
At changing tyres upstairs bro
I shot my mouth off and you showed me what that hole was for


Now i see you
All impressed and half undressed
You got paint stick all over the scars and lumps and bumps
Tattooed love boys
Have got you where i used to lay
Well ha ha too bad, but you know what they say
"stop snivellin', you're gonna make some plastic surgeon a rich man"


Oh, but the prestige and the glory
Another human interest story
You are that
