Lyrics to My Terms
I got a problem and it’s causing me some grief
It’s got to do with you and how you’re lying through your teeth
You ran away to LA and you knew what you wanted to do
You maintain your innocence and I’d love to tell the truth
I don’t like you
And I don’t like the girl you brought back
I love my friend
And she deserved better than that
You, you don’t think before you act
You got a gun
Drove to the bank
And you were so heartless when you said
“Everybody on the floor
Cos I’m taking all you got
I don’t wanna break your heart
But I want you to get lost
Put your hands where I can see them
I won’t let you have control
This ends on my terms
And I don’t care if you get hurt.”
People hold you in high regard but your valour is all a lie
Remember how you wouldn’t come home
Until her cab was parked outside?
You flew away and left her here so you could carry out your plan
She may not be mad anymore but I am
Can’t wish you well
Or the poor fool you brought back
I’ll give you hell
Because she deserved better than that
I picked up the pieces when you left
You got a gun
Drove to the bank
And you were so heartless when you said
“Everybody on the floor
Cos I’m taking all you got
I don’t wanna break your heart
But I want you to get lost
Put your hands where I can see them
I won’t let you have control
This ends on my terms
And I don’t care if you get hurt.”
You lie through your teeth
Maybe I should drag you for money
So then you can have as much cash
As you have dignity
When you get bored again
Will you board that same old plane?
Is this one the love of your life
Or just the next in line?
“Everybody on the floor
Cos I’m taking all you got
I don’t wanna break your heart
But I wanna call the shots
Just hand over all your money
I don’t need to hear your words
This ends on my terms
And I don’t care if you get hurt.”
“Everybody on the floor
Cos I’m taking all you got
I don’t wanna break your heart
But I want you to get lost
Put your hands where I can see them
I won’t let you have control
This ends on my terms
And I don’t care if you get hurt.”
It’s got to do with you and how you’re lying through your teeth
You ran away to LA and you knew what you wanted to do
You maintain your innocence and I’d love to tell the truth
I don’t like you
And I don’t like the girl you brought back
I love my friend
And she deserved better than that
You, you don’t think before you act
You got a gun
Drove to the bank
And you were so heartless when you said
“Everybody on the floor
Cos I’m taking all you got
I don’t wanna break your heart
But I want you to get lost
Put your hands where I can see them
I won’t let you have control

And I don’t care if you get hurt.”
