[Verse 1]
My friend told me of a secret
Told me that she blames herself
You invaded her magnificence
Put your hand over her mouth
[Chorus]

If she cried to you for help?
[Chorus]
"Why was she all alone
Wearing her shirt that low?"
They said, "Boys will be boys"
Deaf to, deaf to
Deaf to the word "no, no, no, no"
[Outro]
Like a mower in the morning
I will never let you rest
You broke all the bonds she gave ya
Time to pay the fucking rent
