I could never pretend that I don't love you, You could never pretend that I'm your man. That's exactly the way that I want it, That's exactly the way that I am.
And you call me in the morning with your troubles, Takin' it downtown every night. I could never place the stars at night above ya, Got my hands in the ground and you know I'm right.
You wait so long [x4]
[Instrumental]
It's a coffee stain earth every time it happens, Liven up honey it ain't that bad. And the afterthought rose to recognition, Like every other coffin that I had.
And your Buick broke down and went a muck, You fall to your knees and you pray to the Lord. Maybe take up hope at the politicians, Nothing happens in this burnt down town anymore.
You wait so long [x8]
[Instrumental]
And your heart rolls on like a frozen freight train, You know that I help you if I can. But I'm just a raindrop in a river, Just a little itty-bitty grain of sand.
And you know that I'm doomed to repeat this, With all the bad habits that I learned. But it's better then your five earned fornication, And all the dirty money that you earned.
