Never give an inch, that’s what I say, son.
When it’s too tough for everybody else,
Hell, it’s just right for me.
Now, my lips are bleeding
From the selfish things that I’ve done,
And my heart it lies at the bottom of the ocean.
Sometimes a great notion…

Wanted to make love to my girl
In the backseat of my car.
So, I took her to the drive-in picture show.
So, I filled her up with
Lies and a strong love potion
And I’m sittin’ here watching the movie alone.
Sometimes a great notion…

Sometimes the best plans
Have been known to go astray.
So, you better put your seatbelt on.
Just like your worst headache,
Well, a bad day don’t go away.
And, you hit the ground running against your emotions.
Sometimes a great notion…
Sometimes a great notion…
