Prom night, 2009
I looked great in my suit and tie
Showed up without a date
But before the night got too late
Our eyes met across the room
And I thought that it was way too soon
She took me by the hand and showed me how to be a man
The lights were low and her parents weren't home
Oh my god, who the hell did you learn that from?
No, no, don't stop, a little faster now
I spent many nights alone practicing
But I never factored in balancing
Holy shit, it just feels so good
I'm a repeat offender and I'm knocking on wood
Am I moving too fast? Are these cuffs made to last?
Grab a handful of hair and tell me I'm the best
We heard your dad come in the front door
I left my underwear on your bathroom floor
Through the window I made my escape
With a big, fucking smile on my face
We silently said goodbye
Eric picked me up 'cause I still couldn't drive
But then your boyfriend found out
So we got better at sneaking around
Holy shit, it just feels so good
I'm a repeat offender and I'm knocking on wood
Am I moving too fast? Are these cuffs made to last?
Grab a handful of hair and tell me I'm the best
Shut your mouth and keep your eyes on me
Keep your feet in the air and let your hands roam free
Don't you let them hear you gasp
Handprints up and down your ass
It's so hard to hold it steady when you're arching your back
Sitting in the back row of chemistry class
Spent the last 4 years staring at her ass
Finally got a chance to make her all mine
6 months in and it seems to be going fine
Head to her house when I get out of work
But now I'm thinking I'm sort of a fucking jerk
Pulling out front of her family home
Can't wake her parents so I dim the lights real low
That's when I saw the craziest sight
This dude ass naked running into the night
Now I know for sure I'm down on my luck
"Cause I just lost my girl to some curly headed fuck
