I'm hot, and when I not, I'm cold as ice.

"Do you know where the **** you are..."
In the days of my youth, I was told what it means to be a man.
I love you from the bottom of my pencil case
Beautiful south.
I must have walked past this doorway 30 times just trying to catch your eye
When the routine bites hard And ambitions are low
Wont you lend your lungs to me, mine are collapsing.

You must leave now, take what you need, you think will last
