Debbie's dress is way the worse for wear She can't get her fingers through he hair Every time he slaps her down again She just talks it out among her friends You can go around it Save yourself the pain Ah, you can go around it But it's not the same Debbie drags herself to work each day Cursing every crack along the way When she's good he calls her on the phone Making her feel that much more alone Ah, you can go around it Save yourself the pain Ah, you can go around it But it's not the same When she's all strung up and hung up You know what it makes he happy She can't see the way things could be 'Cause she's so happy (Ah you can go arount it) You can go around it Save yourself the pain Ah, you can go around it But it's not the same Ah, you can go around it Save yourself the pain Ah, you can go around it But it's not the same Without the pain It's not the same Without the pain It's not the same Oh what a shame
