From the day he was born
he was trouble
he was the thorn in his mother's side
she tried in vain
but he never caused her nothing but shame
he left home the day she died
From the day he was gone
all he wanted
was rock 'n' roll, porn, and a motorbike
shooting up junk
he was a lowdown, cheap little punk
taking everyone for a ride
When eddie said he didn't like his teddy
you knew he was a no-good kid
but when he threatened your life
with a switchblade knife
what a guy
makes you cry
and i did
Everybody shoved him
i very nearly loved him
i said "hey, listen to me
stay sane inside insanity"
but he shut the door and threw away the key
But he must have been drawn
into something
maing him warn me in a note which reads
"i'm out of my head
oh, hurry or i may be dead
they mustn't carry out their evil deeds"

When eddie said he didn't like his teddy
you knew he was a no-good kid
but when he threatened your life

what a guy
makes you cry
and i did, whoa whoa whoa
what a guy
makes you cry
and i did, hey hey hey
what a guy
makes you cry
and i did, yeh yeh yeh
what a guy
makes you cry
and i did
