Frying Pan

Don't think big man
I can't think little
Won't let that end catch me up in the middle
My whole life's been the toss of a dice
Done another girl gone out of my life
Out of the frying pan into the fire
Anything you say they 's gonna call you lair
Go downtown
I walk around
The man comes up says he's gonna put me down
You try to succeed to fulfil your need
You get hit by a car the people watch you bleed
Out of the frying pan into the fire
Anything you say they's gonna call you liar
Watch what you do now
Think what you sayin'
If you get crossed up you gonna end up paying
Ain't no loose i'm gonna cut it all loose
I made a mistake i can't get no break
Out of the frying pan into the fire
Anything you say they's gonna call you liar
