Lyrics
Five Fingers
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've only got one life
So why give it away?
Why let someone else
Think what I think
Say what I say?
Tell me like it is
Tell me what I've done wrong
I don't get that lovin' feeling
Coming on strong
What you feel is not my concern
What you'll lose you'll soon learn
Me I went with you to give you all
that I could
But you went with me
Because I make you look good
You ain't fooling me, it's abundantly clear
Screwing me was just another move
in your career
Never heard you moaning before
You always came back for more
Ego trip - you are on an ego trip
Ego trip - I ain't on no ego trip
I thought it was love and companionship
What a rip-off
It's just another ego trip
I've given you the world and that's
only the start
The least you can do is let me into
your heart
The most you can do is believe what
I say
I'm down on my knees, in complete
disarray
Listen babe, when push comes to shove
I'm in love, I'm in love
Ego trip - you are on an ego trip
Ego trip - I ain't on no ego trip
The basis of this here relationship
Isn't hip
It's nothing but an ego trip...
What used to be good
Took a terminal dip
A fatal slip
Nothing but an ego trip...
