All that I'm denied
Is what I want the most
And all the things we hide
Soon become our ghost
And we can close our eyes
While we take the dose
Spending all our lives
On the whipping post
You know that I want it and I can't say no
You know that I've got no self control
You know I'd stop it if I could
I try and I try but I can't be good
I can't be good
And I can take it all
Up until I choke
And all the little lies
Start to prick and poke
But we can close our eyes
While we take our dose
Spending all our lives
On the whipping post
You know that I want it and I can't say no
You know that I've got no self control
You know I'd stop it if I could
I try and i try but I can't be good
I can't be good
It's not over by a long shot
We're finished when I say we're done
You know that I want it and I can't say no
You know that I've got no self control
You know I'd stop it if I could
I try and i try but I can't be good
I can't be good
