lyrics

Where do I begin? Right at the start
Is this written in my astrological chart?
Tell my mom and dad I'm A-OK
I'm on a steady diet of Frito-Lays

Thanks for making me prisoner
Thanks for taking me as prisoner

When we met I never would have guessed
That this would end up such a hot mess
Then when I moved in things surely changed
Look at me in these shackles and chains

Thanks for making me prisoner
Thanks for taking me as prisoner

I wish you would spend some time with me
Did you forget where you put the key?
I don't really wanna be let out
Tell me baby, what's that all about?

Thanks for making me prisoner
Thanks for taking me as prisoner
