Whipping Boy Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Since then I never feel helpless
Recess, this mess if you do
And I find that even time well spent
Gets bent if you need it to, we do
By now I've showed you how much
I believe in the here
And now and I wish that you knew

[Chorus]
Lay all you want on me
Lay all you want on me
Lay all you want on me
I'll be your whipping boy

[Verse 2]
You spilled your purse onto my bed
Searching for something for your head
Since then you never come clean
I mean you wish you only could

[Chorus]
Lay all you want on me
Lay all you want on me
Lay all you want on me
I'll be your whipping boy
[Bridge]
I can get up, I can get up, I can get up
I can get up, I can get up, I can get up
I can get up, I can get up, I can get up
I can get up, I can get up, I can get up
I can get up, I can get up, I can get up
I can get up, I can get up, I can get up

And I find that even time well spent
Gets bent if you need it to, we do, we do

[Chorus]
Lay all you want on me
Lay all you want on me
Lay all you want on me
I'll be your whipping boy

Lay all you want on me
Lay all you want on me
Lay all you want on me
I'll be your whipping boy

[Outro]
I'll be your whipping boy
I'll be your whipping boy

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
