Oh Tab

VERSE

                               
I got arrested in the dark of the night
                                   
The cop got restless as he read me my rights
                                            
He told me, I'm always envious of those that I jail
                                              
If I got locked up, nobody'd come to help me post bail
                    
And I said Oh! Oh! Oooh Oooh (2x)

                             
Went to a party on the side of a hill
                                   
Met three latinas who had gotten their fill
                                           
They told me, nobody ever gets us down on our knees
                                  
Simply to help us take a load off our feet
                    
And I said Oh! Oh! Oooh Oooh (2x)

CHORUS: (accuaracy? It may be different, but this works for me)

                     
   And I'm never sure    what I'm living for,
                                
   But it's always on my mind
                      
   Someone comes along,   always proves me wrong.
                      
   Think I'm gonna be fine.

VERSE 2

                                  
I picked a pocket just to give it all back
                                  
Took out the license, left my money intact
                                                    
The man said, I wanna thank thank you, and i had to ask why
                                
That was the old me, I was living a lie
                    
And I said Oh! Oh! Oooh Oooh (2x)

                                    
Riding the subway with the scent of her hair
                                         
She took out a toothbrush, started using it there.
                                                  
She explained, I'm always sure today's the day I will die
                                          
I wanna look good if I get to look God in the eye
                    
And I said Oh! Oh! Oooh Oooh (2x)

CHORUS

BREAK/BRIDGE:

                                
  We get lost in the back of our minds
                                                 
Got nothing to burn but time, time, time.
                                                 
  Everybody's got the love, but they keep it inside
                                
  We get lost in the back of our minds
                                                 
Got nothing to burn but time, time, time
                                            -        
  Everybody's got the love, but they keep it inside. Oh-oh-oh-oh

VERSE 3
                                   
  Met an acquaintance, we were re-introduced
                                     
  With more in common than we had in our youth
                                
She told me,  You look the same
                       
I said, I'm now a new man
                                                             
She asked me   How does that work?
                   
I started giving a damn
                    
And I said Oh! Oh! Oooh Oooh (bunch of times, finishes the song)
