Just Found Out
Written by Melani Cowell
To the tune of Just Fell In, written by Tommy Shaw and James Young
It was 5:15
When I logged in for my first E-bay session
I bought a 12 inch album
And I paid just a buck ninety-seven
I guess I was thinking that my credit was sound
But next thing I knew I was maxed out
Not a cent to be found
I just found out it's a minor obsession
Cause I'm spendin' all my money on you
I got thirty-seven discs
And I'm hopin' for a box-set this Christmas
Front row at some shows
And I'm gonna win some tickets on "Quizzes"
My friends think I'm crazy 'cause I just sold my couch
But I need more money
Cause the back row would just make me a grouch
I just found out it's a minor obsession
Cause I'm spendin' all my money on you
Now I'm so broke I can't pay attention
Spent my last dime on "Ambition"
I've got no real self-control
I needed a cash advance for tickets, I thought that I had it
But Visa says I'm delinquent
And I've got no more credit
Pawn shops are a thing of the past
I found myself a loan shark and said
"Hey buddy, how 'bout some cash"
I just found out it's a minor obsession
Cause I'm spendin' all my money...
Just found out it's a minor obsession
And I'm spendin' all my money...
Just found out it's a minor obsession
Cause I'm spendin' all my money on you
Seein' Styx around the world!
Ohhh, minor obsession
Spent it on you
"OK, Daisy, it's time for some moderation"
