The southside girls, they told me
That you were hot as fire
And I remember every word you said
When you told me I'd get burned
I said, don't worry, baby
I'll just live and learn
I should have listened to the junkman
I should have listened to the junkman
I should have listened to the junkman when he sang
I should have listened to the junkman
But now I've got to pay
It's a sin to taste a love and lose it
Hold on boy, don't let go
But I don't wanna beg
I don't wanna beg
I don't wanna beg
I don't wanna beg
I don't wanna beg your love
I'm never gonna beg your love
An English boy once said to me
How he knew you just as well
He said you never learnt our language much
But, you knew enough to tell
Oh you been confusing lust with love
I think I'm gonna let you go
You should have listened to your junkman
You should have listened to your junkman
You should have listened to your junkman when he sang
You should have listened to your junkman
But now we've got to pay
It's a sin to taste a love and lose it
Hold on baby and don't let go
But I don't wanna beg
I don't wanna beg
I don't wanna beg
I don't wanna beg
I don't wanna beg your love
I don't wanna hear you beg
Hey, and the young girls sings
So c'mon sweet thing, we can fly when my man's away
I'll be your back door, baby
And I'll be your twilight lover
We don't need another 'cause we got each other
Oh baby, we played those games
Oh and I never thought that we'd do it but we done it just the same
Boy and I'll sweep away that shattered heart that one time got away
That's the price you pay
Oh baby, don't you throw my love away
Don't you throw my love, my love
My love, my love, my love, my love
My love, my love
Baby
I'll call you on the telephone
Oh don't say you're not at home
Don't act surprised and blue
Oh you know the way you always do
You know, you know you really scare me, baby
I think I'm ready for the fun
You should have listened to the junkman (yeah, I should have listened)
You should have listened to the junkman (ooh I should have listened)
You should have listened to your junkman, baby (should have listened to the junkman)
You should have listened to your junkman (ooh yeah)
You should have listened to your junkman (ooh yeah)
You should have listened to your junkman (yeah, I should have listened to the junkman)
You should have listened to your junkman
You should have listened to your junkman (ooh yeah, ooh yeah)
