Can you tell me ... tell me, friend ... just exactly where I've been Is that so ... much to ask I'll pay you back no matter what the task You seem really sure 'bout somethin' I don't know Take that load off looks like your chest's about to go Your wasted words ... already been heard Are you really God ... yes or no Well, all day ... and half the night You're walkin' round lookin' such a fright Lawd, is it me ... or is it you I'd make a wager and I'd hope to lose Time's gone looks like Rome ... is 'bout to fall Sure gonna fall Next time take the elevator please don't crawl Nooo Your wasted words ... so absurd Are you really Satan ... yes or no Tell me now, please Whoo-hooo Well, I ain't no saint ... and you sure as hell ain't no savior Every other Christmas I would practice good behavior That was then ... this is now Don't ask me to be Mister Clean ...'cause baby, I don't know how Ring my phone 'bout ten more times we will see Find that broke down line ... and let it be Your wasted words ... will never be heard Go on home, baby ... and watch it ... on TV Weekday ... soap box speciality You know what I'm talkin' 'bout now By the way this song's for you ... sincerely, me Yeahhh
