lyrics

Oh no
Oh no,
You ain’t never met a mess like me

I thought I had it all
I thought I had it all under lock and key
I thought I had it all
Right up until I only gone and lost that key

So batten down the hatches don’t let me in
It’s all fun and games til the hurricane sings
Don’t let your guard I come with the sting
Buyer beware

Oh no
Oh no,
You ain’t never met a mess like me

You thought you saw it all
You thought you knew exactly what I was about
That you could understand me
Bet you thought you could come over and sort it out

Careful where you go its dark down here
never fall in love we will hurt ourselves
fella like me ain’t good for the health
Buyer beware

Save yourself from a mess like me
Like me, like me
Save yourself from a mess like me

Oh no
Oh no,
NO you ain’t never met a mess like me
Oh no
Oh no
You ain’t ready for a wreck like me
