Scoundrel from So Ferocious by Carsie Blanton

SCOUNDREL

I saw you comin from a mile away
I knew that you were gonna hurt me
I knew the very first thing you’d say
was gonna make me feel dirty

and all my friends say I should run away
your arms are open but you never do a thing you’re told
I’m only hopin you’re a scoundrel with a heart of gold

I heard the music comin out your mouth
I saw you look at me the way you did
you got the swagger of the dirty south
but you’re as tragic as an orphan kid

and all my friends say I should run away
your arms are open but you never do a thing you’re told
I’m only hopin you’re a scoundrel with a heart of gold

just when I thought that I was all cleaned up
and I’d had enough of the likes of you
you got me beggin for the harder stuff
I can’t help myself I’m a scoundrel too!

your arms are open but you never do a thing you’re told
I’m only hopin you’re a scoundrel with a heart of gold
