Lyrics

You take me to the party
You put me on the stand
You're pumping up my heart
To the beating of the band
You toss it in the air
And you don't care where it lands
You take it - you break it
You're hurting me

Because I wasn't prepared
I couldn't go where you dared
You got my whole soul bared
I never knew that your cared
Oh it just ain't fair

I'm scared - I'm scared
I'm scared - I'm scared
I'm scared - I'm scared
I'm scared - so scared
I'm scared, I'm scared, I'm scared, I'm scared
I'm scared

You take me out to dinner
And you swallow me whole
You're nothing but a sinner
With a dark black soul
I figured I could handle you
But I'm just a toy
You're getting bolder and bolder
You're just a bad, bad boy

Because I wasn't prepared (I'm scared, I'm scared)
I couldn't go where you dared (I'm scared, I'm scared)
You got my whole soul bared (I'm so, so scared)
I never knew that your cared (yeah, yeah, yeah)

I'm scared - I'm scared
I'm scared - I'm scared
I'm scared - so scared
I'm scared - I'm afraid
I'm scared, I'm scared, I'm scared, I'm scared
I'm scared

What you staring at
You're such a scaredy cat
When I know that I just can't fight it
So what you staring at
You're such a scaredy cat
'Cos I'm only scared that maybe I might like it

(Chaos Karaoke Section : I'm scared of disappointing I'm scared of losing myself I'm scared of losing control I'm scared of finding myself I'm scared of pain because there might be I'm scared of being burnt no-one there at all I'm scared of being ugly I'm scared of being unknown I'm scared of dying I'm scared of being ugly and being deformed and being dull I'm scared to make a wrong turn and being deformed I'm scared of the dark I'm scared of my house and being dull I'm scared of failing I'm scared of Stephen Berkoff I'm scared of Stephen Berkoff I'm scared of being found out I'm scared of being found out)

You take me to the limit
You take me to the brink
You left me with the blues
When you found me in the pink
You know just what you're saying
But your metaphors stink
I gotta lick it, or stick it
Or this is the end

Because I wasn't prepared (because)
I couldn't go where you dared (because I'm)
You got my whole soul bared (because I'm so scared)
I never knew that your cared (I'm scared)

I'm scared - I'm scared
I'm scared - I'm scared
I'm scared - I'm scared
I'm scared - I'm scared
I'm scared - I'm scared
I'm scared - I'm scared
I'm scared - I'm scared
I'm scared
I'm scared, I'm scared, I'm scared, I'm scared, I'm scared

I'm scared - I'm scared
I'm scared - I'm scared
So scared - I'm scared
So scared - I'm scared
I'm scared- I'm scared
I'm scared- I'm scared
I'm scared - I'm scared
I'm scared (maybe I'm wrong) I'm scared
I'm scared, I'm scared, I'm scared, I'm scared, I'm scared
I'm scared
I'm scared

Ow
Oh, I'm scared
