The Pretenders - Tatooed Love Boys Lyrics

The mid-twenty joys
Around a heart that's black and blue.
Tatooed love boys,
I tore my knees up getting to you
'Cause I needed
To find out what the thing was for
Been reading,
But man the time came to explore.

I went apewire
'Cause I thought
I'd like it.
Little tease.
But I didn't mean it.
But you mess with the goods, darlin', you gotta pay.
Yeah.

A good time
Was guaranteed for one and all.
The tatoos
Did target practice in the hall
While waiting
For their number to get called out.
I, I, I, I found out what the wait was about.

I was a good time.
Yeah.
I got pretty good
At changing tires upstairs, bro.
I shot my mouth off and you showed me what that hole was for.

Now I see you
All impressed and half undressed.
You got paint stick
All over the scars and lumps and bumps.
Tattooed love boys
Have got you where I used to lay.
Well ha ha, too bad
But you...know...what they say,
"Stop snivelin'.
"You're gonna make some planstic surgeon a rich man."
Oh but the prestige and the glory.
Another human interest story.
You...are...that.
