Tattooed Love Boys Lyrics - Pretenders

The mid twenty joys around a heart that's black and blue 

Tattooed love boys 

I tore my knees up getting to you 

'Cause I needed 

To find out what the thing was for 

Been reading 

But man the time came to explore 

I went apewire 'cause I thought 

Like I'd like it little tease 

But I didn't mean it 

But you mess with the goods doll, honey you gotta pay, yeah 

A good time was guaranteed for one and all 

The tattoos did target practice in the hall 

While waiting for their number to get called out 

I, I, I, I found out what the wait was about 

I was a good time, yeah, I got pretty good 

At changing tires upstairs bro 

I shot my mouth off and you showed me what that hole was for 

Now I see you 

All impressed and half undressed 

You got paint stick all over the scars and lumps and bumps 

Tattooed love boys 

Have got you where I used to lay 

Well ha ha too bad, but you know what they say 

"Stop snivellin', you're gonna make some plastic surgeon a rich man" 

Oh, but the prestige and the glory 

Another human interest story 

You are that
