Lyrics
Leave me out with the waste
This is not what I do
It's the wrong kind of place
To be thinking of you
It's the wrong time
For somebody new
It's a small crime
And I've got no excuse

Is that alright, yeah?
Give my gun away when it's loaded?
Is that alright, yeah?
If you don't shoot it how am I supposed to hold it?
Is that alright, yeah?
Give my gun away when it's loaded?
Is that alright yeah?
With you?

Leave me out with the waste
This is not what I do
It's the wrong kind of place
To be cheating on you
It's the wrong time
But she's pulling me through
It's a small crime
And I've got no excuse

And is that alright, yeah?
Give my gun away when it's loaded? (Is that alright, yeah?)
Is that alright, yeah?
If you don't shoot it how am I supposed to hold it? (Is that alright, yeah?)
Is that alright, yeah?
If I give my gun away when it's loaded? (Is that alright, yeah?)
Is that alright
Is that alright with you?

Is that alright, yeah?
If I give my gun away when it's loaded? (Is that alright, yeah?)
Is that alright, yeah?
You don't shoot it how am I supposed to hold it? (Is that alright, yeah?)
Is that alright with you?
If I give my gun away when it's loaded? (Is that alright, yeah?)
Is that alright?
Is that alright with you?

Is that alright, yeah? (Give my gun away when it's loaded)
Is that alright, yeah? (If you don't shoot it how am I supposed to hold it?)
Is that alright, yeah? (Give my gun away when it's loaded)

Is that alright? Is that alright?
Is that alright with you?
No
