  • Strut on by like a king
    Telling everybody they know nothing
    And long-lived what you thought you were
    And time ain't on your side anymore, anymore

    And so you tell me I
    Can't take my chances
    But I've told you one too many times
    And you were cryin' like a bitch

    I'm tougher than nails
    I can promise you that
    Step out of line
    And you get bitch-slapped back
    And you can run
    Your little mouth all day
    But the hand of god
    Just smacked you back into yesterday

    And so you tell me I
    Can't take my chances
    But I told you one too many times
    And you were cryin' like a bitch

    And you wonder why
    No one can stand you
    And there's no denying
    You were cryin' like a bitch
    You were cryin' like a bitch

    Lying dead by your sacred faded past times
    Only time is your enemy
    Granted a second chance
    To prove that your arrogance
    Is stronger than you'll ever be
    It's stronger than you can be

    Oh, stronger than you can be
    Oh, stronger than you can, be

    And so you tell me I
    Can't take my chances
    But I told you one too many times
    And you were cryin' like a bitch

    And you wonder why
    No one can stand you
    And there's no denying,
    You were cryin' like a bitch
    You were cryin' like a bitch
    You were cryin' like a bitch
    You were cryin' like a bitch

  • Sean from Atlanta, GaGreat song, I like the attitude. Sully's making an important statement. Hollywood has plenty of primadonnas. I can't really read rock magazines without some rockers complaining about being recognized or how they hate being away from their kids.
  • Zack from Noblesville, InMy ex screwed me over with a sexy blonde and not in a good way.
  • Judie from Joppa, MdHaha. I like Sully Erna more and more everyday
  • Zero from Nowhere, NjI heard during the cruefest tour people were being blown away by Godsmack and soon after the Crue came on many people were leaving. I was considering getting tickets for me and my friend for that tour, but I eventually decided against it because I don't give 2 s(p)its about Motley Crue and I want to either see more than one GOOD band in a single night (Like when I saw Godsmack and Metallica in 2004) or have one band play for 2+ hours (Like when I saw Paul McCartney this year in 2011). Anyway, yeah, Godsmack kicks live, when ever they come back to the New York/New Jersey area, we're defiantley seeing them.
  • Eric from Northeast, MeSomeone with an inside line to the band has stated it is definitely about Nikki Sixx, because Sixx was such a primadonna, self-important bitch on the tour.
