lyrics

When there's a problem, you look at me
I need an alibi just for you to believe
But I'm innocent, I'm innocent, at least this time I am
And I need you to clear my name

When you need a favor, you look my way
I get my hands dirty for you, it's just another day
So you owe me one, you owe me one, 'til I'm stuck in a jam
I think we've lost track now anyway

I think that I'll clean up my act
But you know how it goes, when you leave, they try and pull you back
But I'll do my best, I'll do my best, 'cause I look up to you
But I'd never admit that to anyone

Hey V, let's go down to the shore
You can ride on the back of my bike, just like you have before
And I'll take you there, I'll take you there, to see what we can find
Probably trouble, if nothing else
