she walked in the room
her perfume filled the air
in a low-cut dress
and long flowing hair
her crazy brown eyes
cut me to the bone
she bought me a drink
said “let’s get it on”
i was thrown
i was taken
i was smilin’
my hands were shakin’
oh yea
she took off her dress
threw it on the floor
pulled off her rings
locked the bedroom door
took me in her arms
slowly laid me down
we never touched the earth
just floated all around
i was thrown
i was taken
i was filled
my joint was achin’
oh yea
she left me at the bar
i drank another shot
walking back home
thought how she got me off
now i’m here every night
staring at the door
but she never walks in
guess i should have known
i was thrown
i was taken
i was used
my heart’s forsaken
oh well
