Don’t Suck Me In

作词 : Mark Knopfle

She was dancing at the Lucky Spot

Then she was at The Flame

Then she went to the Red Rooste

But the story was the same

Had a boyfriend name of Buddy

Then she had a guy called Slim

Married a cat played bebop drums

Whatever happened to him?

Who knows what kind of a dive

She's currently working in

Don’t know, don't care

Don't suck me

Don’t suck me in

Remember that jack of all trades

And a master of none

Played rock or pop, they'd tell him what

He was just another gun

Teenybop in Tokyo

Bubblegum in France

A mister glass half-empty

A pessimist in advance

Now it's looking like free fall

The work's not coming in

Don't even ask, my friend

Don't suck me

Don't suck me in

And your so-called business partne

Was another fair weather friend

All he really cared about

Was what was due his end

He liked to check his bank account

Hang with the pimps and liars

Come creeping by to sniff the wind

Show up to kick the tyres

Now he's in some kind of a dive

Maybe it’s a tailspin

I don’t want to know, my friend

Don't suck me

Don’t suck me in

Your second cousin's Uncle Frank

Is coming into town

With crap for all the family

And to see what's going down

He'll eat you out of house and home

Disappear your wine

Says he could have been a concert pianist

If he’d only had the time

You pulled the pin on that grenade

Now you're stuck with him

Don't even ask, my friend

Don't suck me

Don't suck me in
