   I was born with white knuckles
   They won't let go
   I lived my whole life with white knuckles
   They won't let go
   I lived my whole life with white knuckles
   They won't let go
   
   You know I've tried, tried for so long
   To make believe
   But I can't make it
   
   I've got white knuckles
   I've got white knuckles

   Rough runts
   We're the underdogs
   Got a hunger that can't be fed
   Fooling on the way
   So tired of the beginning
   
   Oh, come on don't be shy
   You're the only one who's gonna get me through this
   I'm so hungry for your loving
   I'm on a tough morning
   Can't get over love, can't get over...
   
   Rough runts
   Oooh ooh
   Now I won't deny
   If one back in the...
   
   Rough runts
   Oh, come on baby
   Rough runts
   Yeaaaaah, you came in
   (it got too intense to transcribe to words)
   
   Feeling that lonely in you
   Just make it your wayyyyy
