I got a job doin' stock at a department store
I had to wake up at four every morning
I had to pay rent sometimes
You gotta get a job to do that
Summer was half-way done
And it was my turn to live in the closet
August heat was so intense
I thought that I might die from it
And it seems like I never slept
And my heart wasn't bein' well-kept
So when the chance came to get out of pain
I jumped, I jumped for it
And it was my first time kissing double time
I thought that it might bring an end
And something new might start again
But I was wrong, so wrong
It had been bad for so long
And that's the way it would stay until Valentine's Day
I confessed, yeah, I told her about that kiss
No, I didn't make the move but I knew
That I wanted it to happen again
I apologized and she cried
And I said that all we ever do is fight
I think it's time we bring an end to this
But she said no, oh no
That's not the way it's gonna go
And so it goes, so it goes, so it goes
