I wanna have me some sweet patience I wanna take (lord) my own time I can’t help but remember everything And every time you’ve cried.
And I try to change things, you know I do And I stand on my own two feet I give you my backbone, oh lord my backbone As you lie there in my sheets
Thinking… this ain’t the life I signed up for It keeps changing all the time And if I can’t find comfort in my shoes Well, who am I lyin’ to? Who am I lyin’ to?
Well now, I’d love to see the truth But clearly I’ve been lied to And that ain’t no good now baby, that ain’t no good now baby
(Instrumental)
Well now worry, it’ll never take you nowhere anytime But happiness has taken me to the sky But if I can’t leave this troubled world behind And know all the reasons why, whoa I’ll tell you now
This is the life I signed up for It changes all the time And if I can’t find comfort in my shoes Who am I lyin’ to now, who am I lyin’ to now Take a minute to clap your hands now, stomp your feet If you’ve been lied to, it ain’t by me
