Burnt Offering

don't change for me
i say this with more sincerity than Billy Joel
'cause by the time you've freaked out your friends
with the swell cardigan with the letter on front
I'll be in black leather and high heels, baby
with teased big Texas hair
and a cigarette danglin' from my lips
and somethin' to prove
don't remove your tattoos for my sake
don't bother settin' your alarm on Saturday night
you're alright with me
I be likin' those wild boy ways
so don't sell that Harley
'til you've taken me
for a ride
