Lyrics Take the Fifth - Spoon

Wendy's walking out alone and it's saturday night
All the boys act tough but they ain't got a bite
When they do they'll get more than a slap on the wrist
And it's clear who's promoting her own myth

So I'll take the fifth
Take the fifth oh

Everybody talks it up on a saturday night
And all the kids want to brag in fact that they got a right
But it ain't gonna be just a slap on the wrist
And it's clear who's gonna go and promote her own myth

Gonna talk the fifth
Take the fifth oh
But I'll takee the fifth
I'll take the fifth oh

In back of the room when she walk on through find 'em stacked against the wall
On the tip of their tongue is the word that all along could turn around the way it'd fall
And oh yeah

The thinking about what she's got she's about got me backed against the wall
On the tip of my tongue 'cause I knew it all along I'd be back there if I wouldn't fall
If I wouldn't fall
If I wouldn't fall

Wendy's out on her own it's a saturday night
And I've been hanging around as if to save my own life
All the girls stand around with their hands on their hips
'Cause all the boys have already fallen prey to her myth

But I'm gonna take the fifth
I'll take the fifth on
And I'll take the fifth
I'll take the fifth on
And I'll take the fifth
I'll take the fifth
And I'll take the fifth
I'll take the fifth oh
