You pushed me up against the fence
Ran home to tell your brothers
Shamed and shunned I moved away
To stars just like the others
I hit town with all my speed
No boy was safe from me
I was just a wrecking ball
I was just a wrecking ball
Knocking back love like a drink
I was trying not to think
I was just a wrecking ball
I was just a wrecking ball
Come all you fair and tender girls
This warning you must heed
Spotless white is not enough
They'll damn you for their deeds
Spare us pity for the boys
Those kings of the wrong things
Save it for a daughter and
The pain that they will bring
I hit town with all my speed
No boy was safe from me
I was just a wrecking ball
I was just a wrecking ball
Knocking back love like a drink
I was trying not to think
I was just a wrecking ball
I was just a wrecking ball
Lose a reputation
Gain back stolen powers
Use a pretty face
Squander nighttime hours
I'm not built to amuse
You're not built to abuse
You crashed in nineteen ninety-six
How your mother must've mourned
I think of that and not of you
And the show in ninety-four
It's too late now to tell the truth
I'll lock it in a vault
There's a place for both of us
In the dark within my heart
I hit town with all my speed
No boy was safe from me
I was just a wrecking ball
I was just a wrecking ball
Knocking back love like a drink
I was trying not to think
I was just a wrecking ball
I was just a wrecking ball
