Damned If I Do

Damned if I do
Tell me what's up with the teenage indecision
I'm mad in love but you won't give me permission
You said, "Be here at 9"
Then scream at me for not giving you more time, more time

Damned if I do, damned if I don't
You say you want me to love you
But when I try, you won't
Maybe, maybe we should say goodbye

Damned if I do

Tell me the truth, how many you do it to?
I smell vermouth everytime I don't get to kiss you
Enough's enough
If you don't want my lovin', then I'll give up, I'll give up

Damned if I do, damned if I don't
You say you want me to love you
But when I try, you won't
Baby, maybe we should say goodbye

Goodbye

Damned if I don't try to make you see yourself the way I do
Open minded, worldly, always ready for taboo
Tell me what's up, are we gonna go to heaven?
I'll fill your cup, I won't do it like Kevin

Damned if I do, damned if I don't
You say you want me to love you
But when I try, you won't
Baby, maybe we should say goodbye

Damned if I do, damned if I don't
Baby, maybe we should say goodbye
Maybe we should say, "I do"

Tu siempre estas hablando de lo que tenemos que hacer
{You're always speaking about what we should do}
Bueno, tu sabes
{Well, you know}
Pero lo que tienes que hacer
{But what you should do}
Que {What'}
Es buscarte una menta para la boca porque apestas!
{Is get a breath mint because your mouth stinks!}
Que es lo que tu estas diciendo
{What are you saying?}
Por favor... cometelas todas!
{Please... eat them all!}
A mi no me apesta la boca!
{My breath doesn't stink!}
