They judge a boy by his friends
And all'a mine are trash
They say you find your own level
Well, I'm a snake in the grass
But I can't help the things I do
I've always been attracted to
Cheap thrills, don't you know I like
Cheap thrills, it's night after night
Cheap thrills
Well, if you ain't supposed to do it I will
I got a low reputationand and a bad attitude
'Cause all I want to do is something that I ain't supposed to do
But I can't change the things I love
I guess I'm just a victim of
Cheap thrills, don't you know I like
Cheap thrills, it's night after night
Cheap thrills
Well, if you ain't supposed to do it I will
Cheap thrills, don't you know I like
Cheap thrills, it's night after night
Cheap thrills
Well, if you ain't supposed to do it I will
Cheap thrills, whoa, you know I like
Cheap thrills, whoa, night after night
Cheap thrills, yes, yes, yes
