Mental Hopscotch
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.
Sometimes you say you will, sometimes you say you won't, you always keep me waiting, waiting, hesitating hey yeah
At times I think you do, at times I think you don't, my mind is rollerskating, skipping, jumping rope, and fading
Mental Hopscotch, why must you treat me this way? mental hopscotch, ready or not I'm going away
Why can't you be like this, why can't you be like that? I don't know where I am, or where or where I'm at
So now you got me up and now you got me down, you will me, won't me, do me, don't me, watch me now it's crazy!
Mental Hopscotch, why must you treat me this way? mental hopscotch, ready or not I'm going away
Mental Hopscotch, cover your eyes and count to 10 mental hopscotch, don't come up till I say when
So now you got me up and now you got me down, you will me, won't me, do me, don't me, watch me now, it's crazy!
You don't think twice about what I might say, I follow you around and play an play an play an play!
Mental Hopscotch, why must you treat me this way? mental hopscotch, ready or not I'm going away
Mental Hopscotch, cover your eyes and count to 10, mental hopscotch, don't come up till I say when
Mental Hopscotch, do me, don't me, will me, won't me, mental hopscotch, rollerskating skipping fading
Mental Hopscotch, mental hopscotch, mental hopscotch
