She’s My Winona

Fall Out Boy

Lyrics

[Intro]
Oh-oh oh-oh, oh-oh oh-oh, whoa
Oh-oh oh-oh, oh-oh oh-oh, whoa

[Verse 1]
Life's just a pace-car on death, only less diligent
And when the two collide, it's no coincidence
The lights are on and everybody's home
Uh, uh, uh uh
The only thing suicidal here is the door
We had a good run, even I have to admit
Life's just a pace-car on death
Only less diligent

[Chorus]
Hell or glory, I don't want anything in between
Then came a baby boy with long eyelashes
And Daddy said, "You gotta show the world the thunder"
(Whoa) The thunder
(Whoa) The thunder
(Whoa) The thunder
(Whoa) Ooh-ooh-ooh

[Post-Chorus]
Oh-oh oh-oh, oh-oh oh-oh, whoa
Oh-oh oh-oh, oh-oh oh-oh, whoa
[Verse 2]
We didn't come to compete, this is a demonstration
Even the young ones become irrelevant
They always bring up how you've changed
(Oh, oh)
Never the same person when I go to sleep
As when I wake up, as when I wake up
Bap bap ba-dap, ba-dap bap ba-dap
Ba-dap bap ba-dap, ba-dap bap ba-dap (Oh)

[Chorus]
Hell or glory, I don't want anything in between
Then came a baby boy with long eyelashes (oh)
And Daddy said, "You gotta show the world the thunder"
(Whoa) The thunder
(Whoa) The thunder
(Whoa) The thunder
(Whoa)

[Post-Chorus]
Oh-oh oh-oh, oh-oh oh-oh, whoa
Oh-oh oh-oh, oh-oh oh-oh, whoa

[Chorus]
Hell or glory, I don't want anything in between
Then came a baby boy with long eyelashes
And Daddy said, "You gotta show the world the thunder"
(Whoa) The thunder
(Whoa) The thunder
(Whoa) The thunder
[Outro]
(Whoa) He said, "Bring the thunder"
(Whoa) The thunder
(Whoa) Oh, the thunder
(Whoa) Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
