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
Sailor's graves and tattooed snakes
And broken hearts
Workin' like a charm
Skin poppin', sky boppin'
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 off 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
Skin poppin', sky boppin'
Baby, let the needle burn
(Skin scar)
Skydivin', mainlinin'
It's the point of no return
(Main scar)
You never ever gonna regret
You got a tattoo
(What you gonna tell her)
You tell your baby: "I did it for you"
Got it under my skin
For the rest of my life
I don't mind, I show it off
Around the neighbourhood
Ain't no lie
I've seen the spike
Up and down my arm
Sailor's graves, tattooed snakes
And broken hearts
Workin' like a charm
Skin poppin', sky boppin'
Baby, let the needle burn
(Skin scar)
Skydivin', mainlinin'
It's the point of no return
(Main scar)
Hey honey don't tell your mama
Keep her out of the blue
(What you gonna tell her)
You tell your ma: "I did it for you"
Skin poppin', sky boppin'
Baby, let the needle burn
Skydivin', mainlinin'
It's the point of no return
Your lover will discover some day
You got a tattoo
(What you gonna tell her)
You just tell her: "Honey, I did it for you"
