I need all the friends I can get
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
I can see that you are leading her on
I think I know what you are
I can see that you are leading her on
I know what you are
You can't see that you're just the same as all the stupid people you hate
I'm not saying I'm free from blame because I need all the friends I can get
I can get
I can get
A long distance call to a mystery blond it wasn't good for business
But you say that she cries when she hears the bird's song
You want to soothe her distress
You can't see that she's just the same as all the stupid people you hate
I'm not saying I'm free from blame because I need all the friends I can get
I can get
I can get
I can see that you are leading her on
You say you're feeling listless
The people are tired and commitment has gone
To this I've been a witness
You can't see that I'm just the same as all the stupid people you hate
I'm not saying I'm free from blame because I need all the friends I can get
I can get
I can get
