Never give an inch, that's what I say, son
When it's too tough for everybody else, hell, it's just right for me
Now, my lips are bleeding from the selfish things that I've done
And my heart it lies at the bottom of the ocean
Sometimes a great notion
ย
Wanted to make love to my girl in the backseat of my car
So, I took her to the drive-in picture show
So, I filled her up with lies and a strong love potion
Now I'm sittin' here watching the movie alone
Sometimes a great notion
ย
Sometimes the best laid plans have been known to go astray
Then you bet, you better put your seatbelt on
Just like your worst headache, well, a bad day don't go away
And you hit the ground running against your emotions
Sometimes a great notion
Sometimes a great notion
