lyrics

Bed time monster
Night time doctor
You don't scare me
You can't have me

Endless worry
Always in a hurry
Where do you think
You're going
Cause you can't have

Back and forth
This game we play
Over and over again

Empty pockets
You had it then
But now you don't got it
You give and you take
And you take
And you take

Last year's lover
Buried under old covers
You love and you leave
But you can't have me

Back and forth
This game we play
Over and over again

Hold me still
Til you get your fill
It's just a little game that we play
Wouldn't have it any other way

Bus riding bully
You push and you pully
You're pushing me
Til you make me bleed
But you can't have me

Back and forth
This game we play
Over and over again
