I can tell you how it ends,
just around the bend.
We end up as friends, cause I'm
too hot to handle, too old a scandal,
can't hold a candle to
leaving well enough alone.
Feeling ill and on your own, cause I'm
too hot to handle, too old a scandal,
can't hold a candle to...
Patience is a young girl's game
and I don't got the time for that anymore.
Do you even know my name
or is that too much to ask for?
Not worth your time; you're not worth mine.
After my shine, now that you know who I am.
Now I'm the best thing and your undoing
comes with you losing what
little chance you had
to prove that you're a man. Oh, I am
too hot to handle, too old a scandal,
can't hold a candle to...
