Verse 2:

Nothin' you can't handle, nothin' you ain't got
Put your money on the table and drive it off the lot
Turn on that old lovelight, turn a maybe to a yes
Same old schoolboy game got you into this mess
Hey son, you better get on back to town
Face the sad old truth, the dirty lowdown
(Ooh, ooh, ooh, I wonder-wonder-wonder-wonder who)
Put those ideas in your head
(Ooh, ooh, ooh, I wonder-wonder-wonder-wonder who)

You gonna come back around
To the sad, sad truth, the dirty lowdown
