"Fuckin' Riptides are on the TV, Ramones on the radio.
 We've been drinking fifties and making out now,
 Since we met at my show.(Shoo wop-wop. Shoo wop-wop)
 And I tell ya, I wish the night would never end (Shoo wop-wop. Shoo wop-wop)
 And then you kill me and say, 'Why can't we be friends?'"

"I've never met a girl like you before, Your word is my comand.
 You let me take you, masturbate, and show you to my band.
 (Shoo Wop-wop. Shoo Wop-wop) And I tell ya, that my heart will never end,
 (Shoo Wop-wop. Shoo Wop-wop) Because you broke it,
 And said 'Why Can't we stay friends?'"
