I saw you comin from a mile away I knew that you were gonna hurt me I knew the very first thing you'd say Was gonna make me feel dirty And all my friends say I should run away Your arms are open but you never do a thing you're told I'm only hopin you're a scoundrel with a heart of gold I heard the music comin out your mouth I saw you look at me the way you did You got the swagger of the dirty south But you're as tragic as an orphan kid And all my friends say I should run away Your arms are open but you never do a thing you're told I'm only hopin you're a scoundrel with a heart of gold Just when I thought that I was all cleaned up And I'd had enough of the likes of you You got me beggin for the harder stuff I can't help myself I'm a scoundrel too! Your arms are open but you never do a thing you're told I'm only hopin you're a scoundrel with a heart of gold
