Lyrics
It takes a lot of loss It takes a lot of loss to love She took a lot of drugs She took a lot to Fuck it up It takes a lot of guts when the going gets nuts When you took the apple babe, Did you think that you'd come tumbling down Standing in the mirror babe, You heard the serpent call your name out loud Now I'm running to your ball and chain Your wearing off like Novocaine Please give me back my Maiden Name It takes a lot of time You got a lot time to kill You got a lot of time when you're spinning on the magic wheel It takes a bad deal to get a good feel She can't taste the apple now Her floral dress a garden long ago Her love's a winter wonderland A blizzard with a California glow I'm running to your ball and chain You're wearing off like Novocaine Please give me back my maiden name Give her back her highway speed She only needs to get away Give me back my afternoons of watching you waste away Now I'm running from your ball and chain You're wearing off like Novocaine Please give me back my Please give me back my Please give me back my maiden name
