I'd like to say: Hello, dear god I've got some questions that need an answer from you Is the life I make, is it worth a dime? I sure could use one to get me through, tonight [Chorus:] Life seems better when you've got something to lose This reputation from playing with fire [x2] See I've been down here, with the scum of the earth And I know that things aren't always what they seem But if you lean me now, a helping hand I'm sure that I'll make it on to the other side [Chorus:] Life seems better when you've got something to lose This reputation, we're playing with fire [x2] With a baseball bat mid-swing And a sorry excuse for? dream But I took you in like a friend of mine Held you tight, told you everything was fine So forget the past, and make it last Because everybody grows up way too fast [Chorus:] Life seems better when you've got something to lose This reputation, we're playing with fire [x2] We're playing with fire! [X2]
