Coming Up Short
When you're alone in the woods
Who'll say they only want to protect you, make you feel safe
Well you know, it always turns into a blood bath, babe
Every time, every time, every time you try and see it their way
Are you a big girl
Are you a lady
Are you doing fine in spite of yourself
Put on some real shoes
You're coming with me
Cause there's always hell to pay when you pay for help
Leap of faith, make a trade
Hear that knock, knock, knocking at your door
Soon enough you'll find out exactly what you're trading it for
Looks like another shootout, babe
Can you take one more
Compromise, every time, every time you'll find you're coming up short
Are you a big girl
Are you a lady
Are you doing fine in spite of yourself
Put on some real shoes
You're coming with me
Cause there's always hell to pay when you pay for help
Compromise every time, every time you'll find you're coming up short
Compromise every time, and you'll find you're coming up short
Compromise. You're always coming up short
Compromise every time and you'll find, you're coming up
Oh hey, oh hey, oh hey there Little Red Riding Hood
You sure are looking good
Who'll say they only want to protect you, make you feel safe
Well you know, it always turns into a blood bath, babe
Every time, every time, every time you try and see it their way
Are you a big girl
Are you a lady
Are you doing fine in spite of yourself
Put on some real shoes
You're coming with me
Cause there's always hell to pay when you pay for help
Leap of faith, make a trade
Hear that knock, knock, knocking at your door
Soon enough you'll find out exactly what you're trading it for
Looks like another shootout, babe
Can you take one more
Compromise, every time, every time you'll find you're coming up short
Are you a big girl
Are you a lady
Are you doing fine in spite of yourself
Put on some real shoes
You're coming with me
Cause there's always hell to pay when you pay for help
Compromise every time, every time you'll find you're coming up short
Compromise every time, and you'll find you're coming up short
Compromise. You're always coming up short
Compromise every time and you'll find, you're coming up
Oh hey, oh hey, oh hey there Little Red Riding Hood
You sure are looking good
