Lyrics
Well, I burned my boats when I found you
And there's no way home without you
Yeah, I burned my boats
I burned my boats when I found you

Well, my white shirt's pressed
But it's stuck to my chest with sweat
And I wanna go home
Everybody keeps talking so slow
I don't know what they're talking about
And I wanna go home

Do-do-do, do, do-do-do, do (yeah)
Do-do-do, do, do-do-do
Do-do-do, do, do-do-do, do (I wanna go home)
Do-do-do, do, do-do-do

Yeah, I polished off my applesauce an hour ago
And I lost my head
And I wanna go home
And I kicked down my ladder
And I burned my boats
There's no way here
And there's no way home without you (do-do-do, do, do-do-do, do)
Ooh, yeah (do-do-do, do, do-do-do)
There's no way home without you (do-do-do, do, do-do-do, do)
(Do-do-do, do, do-do-do)

Gonna swing you 'round
Gonna make you shout
Gonna squeeze this stone
'Til the blood bleeds out
Gonna sweep you up
Like a leaf in the dust
Beat my drum 'til it hurts too much

Do-do-do, do, do-do-do, do (yeah)
Do-do-do, do, do-do-do
Do-do-do, do, do-do-do, do ('Til it hurts too much)
Do-do-do, do, do-do-do (yeah)

Gonna swing you 'round
Gonna make you howl
Squeeze this stone
'Til the blood bleeds out
Gonna sweep you up
Like a leaf in the dust
Beat my drum 'til it hurts too much

(Yeah)
('Til it hurts too much)
