The Treatment
by: Dead DiscoYou didn't stand a chance, but you played along with
the possibility
Asking her to dance, despite the unlikely probability
Copious alcohol is a ludicrous thing to be refused
What can a girl do when the world seems hazy and
confused
Woah oh oh ooh
Woah oh oh ooh
Woah oh oh ooh, oh
You didn't stand a chance, but you got carried away
What happened to romance, is this the fate of today
You know that you've gone too far
You should have stayed in the bar
Get back to her house, it's cheap but rich in innocence
But you can't stop now, though your heart and your head
tells you otherwise
Woah oh oh ooh
Woah oh oh ooh
Woah oh oh ooh, oh
You didn't stand a chance, but you got carried away
What happened to romance, is this the fate of today
You know that you've gone too far
You should have stayed in the bar
Woah oh oh ooh
Woah oh oh ooh
Woah oh oh ooh, oh
You didn't stand a chance, but you got carried away
What happened to romance, is this the fate of today
You know that you've gone too far
You should have stayed in the bar
You didn't stand a chance, but you got carried away
What happened to romance, is this the fate of today
You know that you've gone too far
You should have stayed in the bar
Woah oh oh ooh
Woah oh oh ooh
