I was 21, naive, not cynical, I tried to please
Her wit, her speech, her repartee impressed me almost instantlyShe went all the way
All the way (down)She showed me sex a hundred ways and how she pimped him, how she paid him
And all the daughters, all the sons, all were welcome, all would come
YeahWe went all the way
All the way (down)I was being Mr. Cool, just a snotty little fool, like kids are now
I dreamed of reaching greater heights, I raved about it every night, and talkedShe's there when I close my eyes
How the years rush on by, birthdays, kids and suicides
But still I play the fool and strut, still you're a slutHey baby
All the way...
Down, down, downYou give me back my time up now, I can see it if I close my eyes
Was every minute just a waste? Was every hour a foolish chase?No, I don't believe you slipped all the way...
