I
gotta get out of here, hanging around with your lame friends
I gotta get away from you, I can't have it on my hands
You can do what you wanna do in your twisted little fantasy
I gotta do what's right for me, and what's little left of my sanity*
Woah-oooh
Chorus:
I got more than I bargained for
I got more than I needed
I got more than I wanted from you...
I got more than I bargained for
I got more than I needed
I got more than I wanted from you...
It all started with innocence, a friend of a friend, that stupid party**
It quick turned to malevolence, now I couldn't be more sorry
Thinking that you were so cool, now I'm kicking myself in the head
And I'm reigning as the king of fools believing everything that you said***
(Chorus 2x)
* Al
occasionally has switched "reality" and "fantasy."
I'm pretty sure, though, that "twisted little fantasy" and "my
sanity" is how it's supposed to be - it makes the most sense.
** I'm not sure whether it's "friend of a friend, that stupid party"
or"trying to find that stupid party." For all I know, Al has sung
both. Both make equal sense to me.
*** This could be "and I'm reigning as the king of fools, wishing you were
so fuckin' dead." I'm not sure about either of these...after the
king of fools part, the second half of the line could be almost anything.
