lyrics

I cannot stop once I start to sin
Like the moon to the tide, yeah they draw me in
I like the bad ones, the rebels, the rangers
Like the thrill of the game and the danger but what I really want
I never get, Pirates only want that gold
And I'm a dreamer, wishful thinker
And they lied again but they won't win

'Cause I been used up
Drained to the bottom of the well
It's a funny place to be
When all you do is keep asking to be filled
But baby, I'm all done
Baby, I'm a quiet, fortunate one
And baby, I'm all fun
When I'm all by myself
Hey, hey, hey

I could be so sweet you see
If he'd just let me be his baby
But he promised more than the cards he holds
Now I call that bluff and it's time to fold
'Cause I want the mind, the body and the soul connection
Don't you leave me feeling low
I don't need you, I'm not a pretty prize and now you lose

'Cause I been used up
Drained to the bottom of the well
It's a funny place to be
When all you do is keep asking to be filled
But baby, I'm all done
Baby, I'm a quiet, fortunate one
And baby, I'm all fun
When I'm all by myself
Hey, hey, hey

Don't know where to go
All these false starts and empty hopes
The thief in the night, the wolf at the door
But it's only life so I don't care
And you disappear

Now I been used up
Drained to the bottom of the well
It's a funny place to be
When all you do is keep asking to be filled
But baby, I'm all done
Baby, I'm a quiet, fortunate one
And baby, I'm all fun
When I'm all by myself
Hey, hey, hey
