Can you hear me?

Baby can you hear me?

A e a

Who do you think Im talking to?

Precious things come in my path

Like new clothes for me to try on

In the end they make me laugh

In the beginning they are something to rely on

Well there is no need to flatter

How do I get you to take notice?

When I feel that I am driven

Over the edge where its all hidden

I hang my head and hit a table or a chair

E

I know my place I just cant stay there
