Easy come, easy go, that's just how you live

Oh, take, take, take it all but you never give

Should've known you was trouble from the first kiss

Had your eyes wide open, ah, why were they open?

Gave you all I had, and you tossed it in the trash

You tossed it in the trash, you did

To give me all your love is all I ever asked

'Cause what you don't understand is

I'd catch a grenade for ya (yeah-yeah-yeah)

Throw my hand on a blade for ya (yeah-yeah-yeah)

I'd jump in front of a train for ya (yeah-yeah-yeah)

You know I'd do anything for ya (yeah-yeah-yeah)

Oh-oh, oh, I would go through all this pain

Take a bullet straight through my brain

Yes, I would die for you, baby

But you won't do the same

No, no, no, no

Uh, black, black, black and blue, beat me 'til I'm numb

Tell the devil I said "hey" when you get back to where you're from

Madwoman, bad woman, that's just what you are

Yeah, you'll smile in my face then rip the brakes out my car

Gave you all I had, and you tossed it in the trash

You tossed it in the trash, yes, you did

To give me all your love is all I ever asked

'Cause what you don't understand is

I'd catch a grenade for ya (yeah-yeah-yeah)

Throw my hand on a blade for ya (yeah-yeah-yeah)

I'd jump in front of a train for ya (yeah-yeah-yeah)

You know I'd do anything for ya (yeah-yeah-yeah)

Oh-oh, oh, I would go through all this pain

Take a bullet straight through my brain

Yes, I would die for you, baby

But you won't do the same (no)

If my body was on fire (no)

Ooh, you'd watch me burn down in flames (no)

You said you loved me, you're a liar

'Cause you never, ever, ever did, baby

Uh, but darling, I'd still catch a grenade for ya (yeah-yeah-yeah)

Throw my hand on a blade for ya (yeah-yeah-yeah)

I'd jump in front of a train for ya (yeah-yeah-yeah)

You know I'd do anything for ya (yeah-yeah-yeah)

Oh-oh, oh-oh, I would go through all this pain, yeah

Take a bullet straight through my brain

Yes, I would die for you, baby

But you won't do the same

No, you won't do the same

You wouldn't do the same

Ooh, you'll never do the same

No, no, no, no
