lyrics

when is a house not a home
why do the buffalo roam
what is the meaning of this thing called love
you're looking at me
i'm looking at you
we're all just looking for something to do
try to make it past the crying time

ch:
you could be like somebody else
you could break my heart
you could say bang! goes the tenderness
you could leave like somebody else
make a brand new start
you could say bang! goes the tenderness

she's lounging in her bubble bath
she looks completely outrageous
points a finger like a trigger to my head
she know a big producer
the type that will seduce her
they have great sex
and i know it

ch:
you could be like somebody else
you could break my heart
you could say bang! goes the tenderness
you could leave with somebody else
make a brand new start
you could say bang! goes the tenderness

i guess i was born with a jealous mind
and what you seek you surely find
where do you go when you leave me
you could run me over with a truck
i'm not so sure i'd feel it
but late at night i smoke and stare at the ceiling
and i scream your name

you drive me nervous baby
i need to please you baby
i want to drive you right up the wall
run and jump and scream and shout
we're gonna let it all hang out
feels like something missing
just think of judas kissing

ch:
you could leave with somebody else
you could break my heart
you could say bang! goes the tenderness
you could sleep with somebody else
make a brand new start
you could say bang! goes the tenderness

the tenderness
bring me some tenderness
the tenderness
bring me some tenderness
