Paper Thin

I was gonna get up off that bar stoolIba a levantarme de ese taburete de bar

Just as soon as I could figure it outTan pronto como pudiera entenderlo

Why I was overlooked at the car poolPor qué me pasaron por alto en el grupo de carros

Stood up at the dance with no twist and shoutPlantado en el baile sin dar vueltas y gritar

When you're burnin' with your last desireCuando ardes con tu último deseo

And every memory haunts youY cada recuerdo te persigue

You write it down in alcohol fireLo escribes en fuego de alcohol

'Cause that's the only flame that wants youPorque esa es la única llama que te quiere

[Chorus:][Estribillo:]

When you're paper thinCuando eres papel delgado

Yeah, read all about itSí, léelo todo

When you were out of luck, well, luck was doin' alrightCuando estabas sin suerte, bueno, la suerte estaba bien

Now you're paper thinAhora eres papel delgado

Yeah, they can see right through yaSí, pueden verte a través

You just cut you're little finger on the edge of the nightTe cortaste el dedo pequeño en el borde de la noche

Now do I really have to be responsibleAhora, ¿realmente tengo que ser responsable

For what I did between those tavern wallsPor lo que hice entre esas paredes de taberna?

I was just mixing up some chemicalsSolo estaba mezclando algunos químicos

You could've heard a pin drop, could have heard time crawlPodrías haber escuchado caer un alfiler, podrías haber escuchado el tiempo arrastrarse

And every once in a whileY de vez en cuando

You could hear you're own heart poundPodías escuchar latir tu propio corazón

Maybe some paper doll with a pasted on smileTal vez alguna muñeca de papel con una sonrisa pegada

Would let you write her number downTe dejaría anotar su número

[Chorus][Estribillo]
