Lyrics

Let's go!

Just met a porn star
She is an actress
Because in real life
She won't admit this

She doesn't want anyone to know
So she pretends she's someone else
But I found her out anyway
After she told me that she
Had a boyfriend

Had enough, had enough, had enough
Of this stuff, of this stuff, of this stuff
And I'm sure that you don't really mind
That you're taking me for one hell of a ride

He's a manager, in show biz
He said I'd be a star
But now what's this?

He stopped returning all my calls
When I couldn't make him anymore
Money, it changes everything
When he said that I'd always be a superstar

You're taking me for a ride
You're taking me for a ride
You're taking me for a ride
You're taking me for a ride
