Lyrics

[Verse 1]

I gave you my money, I gave you my time

Why you wanna hurt me, girl?

Are you serious? I'm just curious

Why you wanna hurt me, girl?

[Verse 2]

Just because you're not for real

Why you wanna hurt me, girl?

Just because you're not for real

Why you wanna hurt me, girl?

[Verse 3]

Never ever had a lover who could put the pedal to the metal

And burn rubber on me, Charlie, oh no

[Verse 4]

You took my money, you took my time

Made me think everything was fine

Then you up and ran away

And made me just go crazy

[Verse 5]

I never ever had a lover who could put the pedal to the metal

And burn rubber on me, Charlie, oh no, no, no

[Verse 6]

Just because you're not for real

Why you wanna hurt me, girl?

Just because you're not for real

Why you wanna hurt me, girl?

[Verse 7]

I never ever had a lover who could put the pedal to the metal

And burn rubber on me, Charlie, oh no, no, no, no

[Verse 8]

Just because you're not for real

Why you wanna hurt me, girl?

Just because you're not for real

Why you wanna hurt me, girl?

[Verse 9]

You told me to go up the block

And get you a strawberry pop

When I got back to the flat

You had burned rubber out the back

[Verse 10]

I went to the closet and saw no clothes

All I saw was hangers and poles

I went to the phone and called your mother

And told me you had burned rubber on me, Charlie

Oh no, no, no

No, no, no, no, no, no, no

No, no, no

[Verse 11]

Just because you're not for real

Why you wanna hurt me, girl?

Just because you're not for real

Why you wanna hurt me, girl?

[Verse 12]

I never ever had a lover who could put the pedal to the metal

And burn rubber on me, Charlie, oh no, no, no, no, oh

Oh yeah

[Verse 13]

Just because you're not for real

Why you wanna hurt me, girl?

Just because you're not for real

Why you wanna hurt me, girl?

[Verse 14]

Just because you're not for real

Why you wanna hurt me, girl?

[Verse 15]

You took my money, you took my time

Made me think everything was fine

Like the clock on the wall said ding-ding-dong

You got to find another lover that won't be gone

[Verse 16]

She won't put the pedal to the metal

And burn rubber, burn rubber on me, Charlie

No, no, no, no

[Verse 17]

I never ever had a lover who could put the pedal to the metal

And burn rubber on me, Charlie, no, no, no, no, no, no, no

I never ever had a lover who could put the pedal to the metal

And burn rubber on me, Charlie, no, no, no, no, no, no, no

[Verse 18]

I never ever had a lover who could put the pedal to the metal

And burn rubber on me, Charlie, no, no, no, no, no, no, no

I never ever had a lover who could put the pedal to the metal

And burn rubber on me, Charlie, no, no, no, no, no, no, no

[Verse 19]

I never ever had a lover who could put the pedal to the metal

And burn rubber on me, Charlie, no, no, no, no, no, no, no

I never ever had a lover who could put the pedal to the metal

And burn rubber on me, Charlie, no, no, no, no, no, no, no

[Verse 20]

I never ever had a lover who could put the pedal to the metal

And burn rubber on me, Charlie, no, no, no, no, no, no, no

I never ever had a lover who could put the pedal to the metal

And burn rubber on me, Charlie, no, no, no, no, no, no, no
