Last night when I told you all that stuff
About the way things are
You didn't understand a word
But you said you did
Now I'm not the honest joe I might seem
I can't take your lies
It's late, I'm tired, your words just crackle along the wire
You got a problem baby (you got a problem)
It's all over now (it's over now)
You thought you had it made
It's over, it's over
It just don't make sense the way you did
They things you did
You might have thought that I was dumb
But I'm all wised up
Games up, move on, why don't you, get out of my hair
I wonder if you ever did really care
You got a problem baby (you got a problem)
It's all over now (it's over now)
You thought you had it made
It's over, it's over, it's over
Missing words, missing words it's just
Missing words, missing words it's just
Missing words, missing words it's just
Missing words, missing words it's just
Missing words
You got a problem baby (you got a problem)
It's all over now (it's over now)
You thought you had it made
It's over, it's over, it's over
Missing words, missing words it's just
Missing words, missing words it's just
Missing words, missing words it's just
Missing words, missing words it's just
Missing words
