How could things be so easy some days |
|
And so hard in times when I could use |
|
Some help coming by my way |
|
I just don't know why you won't take me for myself |
|
You say that I should be somebody |
|
Don't you think that I'd be funny |
|
In a suit and tie, ol' mister nine-to-five |
|
I just don't know why you won't take me for myself |
|
I've been rackin' my brain |
|
Trying to find a way to make ends meet |
|
I've been making two bridges |
|
Write you songs that you can sing |
|
There ain't anybody else that I could be |
|
Say, how long will it be now |
|
How long will it be now |
|
How long will it be now |
|
How long will it take to make him see my side |
|
I ain't no nine to five |
|
I just don't know why you won't take me for myself |
|
If you could only own a mountain made of solid gold |
|
What difference would it make |
|
You'd just have more to break |
|
And I don't know why you won't take me for myself |
|
I just don't know why you won't take me for myself |
|
I just don't know why you won't take me for myself |
|
I just don't know why you won't take me for myself |
