[Verse 1]
She twisted my arm and I bought the farm
The law on her side, I wish I could hide
I'm guilty as sin, but I know how to win
I don't know how to die, I don't know how to cry
I'm squirming in pain, it's twisting my brain

Rip off (Ohh), rip off (Ahh)
(Tah, tah, tah, tah, tah, tah, tah, tah, tah, tah, tah, ohh)
[Outro]
Oh-ah, I'm dying here
