If you ask me why I lie to you
|
I can tell you I don't know myself
|
Its amazingly dishonest
|
But I'd have to recognize it
|
As part of myself
|
|
Straighten up
|
Why can't you straighten up
|
I've heard you tell me this
|
So many times
|
It doesn't even stick
|
|
I get it all the time
|
I get it all the time
|
You know I love to make
|
A joke of it
|
|
And if you ask me why I hurt you
|
I don't understand it
|
I can't help myself
|
Its a special combination
|
Of preditory instinct
|
And simple ill will
|
|
I would give some thought to it
|
If I thought that it might do me
|
Some good
|
Some good
|
|
Straighten up
|
Why can't you straighten up
|
You always say I'll lose
|
Control of it
|
And thirty is not too old
|
|
Well momma I would give some thought to it
|
If I thought that it might do me
|
Some good
|
Some good
|
Some good
|
Some good
|
