She was all alone at half past four,
At an all night small town convenience store,
When he walked in and locked the door behind him,
(verse 2)
She ducked down behind the counter,
He said get up I know you're down there,
And I've got a gun just hold on I'll find it,
(bridge)
He fumbled through the pockets of his faded denim jacket,
Handed her a note and said You'd better do exactly what it says,
And she read,
(chorus)
Nobody love nobody gets hurt,
She looked at him with a nervous grin,
And she pointed to that word,
He said what the hell I can't spell,
but you know what I meant,
And she said yeah, but that ain't what you said,
(verse 2)
She said I don't think you want to do this,
Sounds to me like there's more to it,
He said Spare your views on my abusive childhood,
(verse 3)
Cause the last time I saw my old man,
Was in a photograph in our garbage can,
He never gave a damn so tell why I should,
(bridge)
And you don't know the half of all the demons that I battle,
And you ain't gonna save me with your mindless psycobabble
I'm damaged goods,
(chorus)
Nobody love and nobody gets hurt,
And as he walked away in the pouring rain,
She still could hear that word,
He said what the hell I can't spell,
But you know what I meant,
And she said yeah, but that ain't what you said,
And she said yeah but that ain't what you said,
