you're waisting your time
coming round here
what got you to thinking
there was something new going on
you're waisting your time
coming round here
what got you to thinking
i had a different song
been lying awake all night
trying to figure out
it's that old song
keeps running around in my head
you're waisting your time
coming round here
but what's good for me
is not necessarely for the best
so play it for me
sometimes it works
sometimes it don't you know
some days it hurts
some days it feels real good
sometimes it hurts
sometimes it don't you know
some days it works so good
i can't see my way home
been climbing these old walls
why don't they screamin
what a cheat you are
(i knock you...)
cos nothing else comes near me
you got this trick on the world
me have the sharpest chisel
the keenest eye
it's just that old song
i only got the one
so play it for me
sometimes it works
sometimes it don't you know
some days it hurts
some days it feels real good
sometimes it hurts
sometimes it don't you know
some days it works so good
i can't see my way home
i may have unscrewed the top
just to hear that sound
i may poor little
just to see the light shining thru
a little sip, but no more
hey, you belong to me now
don't you wander too far
so play it for me
and i'll play it for you
so play it for me
and i'll play it for you
sometimes it works
sometimes it donc1
