When she said, don't waste your words, they're just lies
I cried, she was dead
And she looked on my face, till breaking my eyes
And said, what else you got left?
It was then that I got up to leave
But she said, don't forget
Everybody must give something back
For something they get
I stood there and hummed
I tapped on her drum
And asked her how
How come
She buttoned her boot
And straightened her suit
And she said, don't get cute
So I forced my hands in my pockets
And felt with my thumbs
And gallantly handed her my
Very last piece of gum
She threw me outside
I stood in the dirt
Where everyone walked
And after finding that I had forgotten my shirt
I went to the pool






I waited in the hallway, she went to get it, and I tried to make sense
Out of that picture of you in your wheelchair that leaned up against
Her Jamaican bum, and when she didn't come, I asked her for some
She said, no dear, I said your words aren't clear, you better spit out your gum
She screamed till her face got so red, then she fell on the floor
And I covered her up and then thought, I don't love you at all
And when I was through, I was in love with her

I filled up my shoe and brought it to you
And you, you took me in, you loved me then, you never wasted time
And I, I never took much, I never asked for your crush, now don't ask for mine
And I, I never asked for your crush, now don't ask for mine
