Lyrics for He'll Go Down

Drop dead gorgeous and the rest Resurrected his interest Clouds so swift the rain won't lift He'll wait for you when you change your shift And he'll go down and he'll drag you on the ground He'll panic you into attack He'll tape your calls and play them back And the next thing you'll be knowing Your desperation will be showing And he'll go down and he'll drag you on the ground He'll offer you pretty balloons They'll burst before they've played a tune Please don't wear that satin dress And don't give him your home address 'Cos he'll go down and he'll drag you on the ground He plays a high fast mighty game It always ends up just the same Your welcome will be worn out Your suspicions will be borne out And he'll go down and he'll drag you on the ground
