My papa told me to stay out of trouble
When you've found your man,
make sure he's for real
I've learned that nothing really lasts forever
I sleep with the scars,
I'm aware that won't heal
They won't heal
Cause every time I seem to fall in love,
crash,
boom,
bang
I find the hard path and I hit the wall,
crash, boom, bang
That's the call,
that's the game,
and the pain stays the same
Walking down this empty road to nowhere
I pass by the houses and blocks I once knew
My mama told me not to mess with sorrow But I always did,
and Lord,
I still do
I'm still breaking the rule I kick it up,
I kick it down
Cause every time I seem to fall in love,
crash,
boom,
bang
I find the hard path and I hit the wall,
crash, boom, bang
That's my real middle name It has always been the same
That's the call,
that's the game,
and the pain
stays the same
I still feel the heat and the taste of the kissing
I kick it up,
I kick it down Cause every time I seem to fall in love,
crash,
boom,
bang
I find the rust that's lying on the floor,
crash,
boom,
bang
That's the call,
that's the game,
and the pain
stays the same
That's my real middle name It has always
been the same
Oh yeah,
oh yeah It has always been the same
It's always been the same
