Beauty today is only skin deep
Temptation is strong and the job ain't cheap
I've seen the spike up and down my arm
Sailors grave and tattooed snakes and broken hearts
Workin' like a charm
Skinboppin', skyboppin'
Baby, let the needle burn (Skin, scar)
Skydivin', mainlinin'
It's the point of no return
Get yourself a tattoo, don't think twice
You show it of in the disco, at school
Around the corner
Ain't no lie
Goin' down the road with a pistol in my hand
Johnny tattoo is lookin' for you
Skinboppin', skyboppin'
Baby, let the needle burn (Skin, scar)
Skydivin', mainlinin'
It's the point of no return (Made scar)
You never ever gonna regret
You've got a tattoo (What y're gonna tell her?)
Got it under my skin
For the rest of my life
I don't mind, I show it of around the neighbourhood
Ain't no lie
I've seen the spike up and down my arm
Sailors graves and tattooed snakes and broken hearts
Workin' like a charm
Skinboppin', skyboppin'
Baby, let the needle burn (Skin, scar)
Skydivin', mainlinin'
It's the point of no return (Made scar)
Hey, honey don't tell your mama, keep her out of the blue
(What y're gonna tell her?)
You tell your ma: "I did it for you"
Skinboppin', skyboppin'
Baby, let the needle burn
Skydivin', mainlinin'
It's the point of no return
Your lover will discover some day you've got a tattoo
(What y're gonna tell her?)
You just tell her: "Honey, I did it for you"
