Why you actin' vain for my blood, vain for my blood When you got everything that I want? Why you actin'? I've been dreamin' (uh) Of your uniform Your uniform of non-conformity The tears, the tears Tears aren't strong enough The years aren't long enough, no F*ck me up and make me just go crazy Addicted to the pain that you just made me love (woah, yeah) I'm fiendin' for your touchin' on the daily You're the only one that I want (yeah) Break my heart but don't tell me I'm not doin' fine 'Cause I'm doin' fine Let me go, I'm spendin' time Not doin' fine but I'm doin' fine Why you actin' vain for my love, vain for my love When you got everything that I want? Why you actin' vain for my blood, vain for my blood When you got everything that I want? Why you actin' vain? It's hard to miss you When you are always on the tip of my tongue, now I feel like I'm looking for somethin' Somethin' that'll never come Call me when you're in the city again My head just went oblivion It's hard to miss you When you are always on the tip of my tongue (Always on the tip of my tongue) And now the time is right, you wanna do me so wrong Now the time is right, you wanna do me so wrong When I've been waitin' (I've been waitin') Long for you (long for you) I wanna drink my wine, I wanna pass that by I wanna make her cry, she wanna make me die Apple pie, six cigarettes And I'll catch the vibe that we can't forget Why you actin' vain for my love, vain for my love When you got everything that I want? Why you actin' vain for my blood, vain for my blood When you got everything that I want? Why you actin' vain? It's hard to miss you When you are always on the tip of my tongue I feel like I'm looking for somethin' Somethin' that'll never come I'll be waiting (I'll be waiting) Oh, for you (I'll be waiting) (for you) And now the time is right, you wanna do me so wrong (I'll be waiting) And now the time is right, you wanna do me so wrong (for you)
