Lyrics

[00:12.66] This little boy's like all the rest
[00:15.54] 'Cause he knows just what's inside him
[00:19.06] He's never been put to the test
[00:21.96] 'Cause he knows just where to find them
[00:25.45] All his life he's had it easy
[00:28.34] You know he's never had no problems
[00:31.78] The house he lived in was so sleazy
[00:34.75] But he still kept 'em coming
[00:38.25] And who's gonna pay your bills today
[00:41.10] And who's gonna turn the girls away
[00:44.22] And who's gonna make you feel ok
[00:47.20] And who's gonna take your pills today
[00:50.90] And you know it can't be me
[00:54.18] Yeah you know it can't be me
[00:57.45] Sometimes I just feel too much
[01:01.47] And I don't want to feel at all
[01:05.26] He said to his mother one day, you know,
[01:08.16] "Mum I really think I'm different"
[01:11.61] She said, "son, you'll have to go,
[01:14.35] You know, it's costing too much to keep you."
[01:18.05] The day was wet as he walked down the road
[01:20.93] You know his head was full of sorrow
[01:24.58] Little did he know he'd never see
[01:27.26] His own home again
[01:30.96] And who's gonna pay your bills today
[01:33.91] And who's gonna turn the girls away
[01:36.95] And who's gonna make you feel ok
[01:40.31] And who's gonna take your pills today
[01:43.31] And you know it can't be me
[01:46.56] Yeah you know it can't be me
[01:50.07] Sometimes I just feel too much
[01:53.94] And I don't want to feel at all
[01:57.87] He said to his friends, "come on, let's go
[02:00.76] I'll take you to the show now
[02:03.96] They said, "no no, look here my friend,
[02:07.50] You make me feel much older.
[02:10.60] They left him alone sitting on the road
[02:13.50] You know, his head was full of bourbon
[02:16.96] Little did he know they'd never see
[02:20.52] The ones he knew so well
[02:23.28] And who's gonna pay your bills today
[02:26.55] And who's gonna turn the girls away
[02:29.63] And who's gonna make you feel ok
[02:32.63] And who's gonna take your pills today
[02:35.94] And you know it can't be me
[02:39.20] Yeah you know it can't be me
[02:42.90] Sometimes I just feel too much
[02:46.69] And I don't want to feel at all
