What's this I hear
There's a whole lotta talk
The people they say they're gonna put the kid down
Hey yeah
Tell me what you did
You can call it what you want
But I call it messin' with the kid
Now the kid plays hot
And hot don't pay
I say what I mean, I mean what I say
Yeah, yeah
Tell me what you did
You can call it what you want
But I call it messin' with the kid
Well tell me you love me
You tell me a lie
But I know I love ya baby, 'til the day I die
Hey yeah
Tell me what you did
You can call it what you want
But I call it messing with the kid
Elwood, Elwood!
-Yeah?
You wanna mess with the kid?
-Nah Jake, I don't wanna mess with the kid...
Yeah I know, I know that.
How about you guys back here?
You wanna mess with the kid? Any of you guys?
How about you people out there you wanna mess with the kid?
Gonna take the kid's car
Drive around town
Tell everybody trying to put him down
Hey yeah
Tell me what you did
You can call it what you want
I call it messin' with the kid
