I don't have no ring on my finger
I don't answer to you
Dont come to me with questions incomplete
We don't have no promises to keep
You don't have no chain on your ankle
No one to bare in your mind
You look for a shape thats defined
I cant fit
Without leaving bits behind
Oh, my girl
My girl
Take it as it comes
Before we take what we get
When all is sold
And truth gets told
Who will be lying in the shade
And who'll be asking for more?
Now I'm one of many i guess
And its starting to tickle me wrong
But I will not be accused by my peers
Of being the one who is holding too strong
Separate from the rest
Thats where we do our best
Come and meet me in my place after dark
You can win the game of who's caring less
Oh, my girl
My girl
Take it as it comes
Before you take what you get
When all is sold
And truth gets told
Who will be lying in the shade
And who'll be asking for more?
Now you're done and I'm beat
You're hungry calling cheat in a game that you chose
And you're hung by your words and you're cursed by a spell
That you wrote
Dont you come running to me
To solve no half baked mystery
I'll know that sound well
I will not think its my name anymore
Dont you know that we cant trust our eyes
Only what they gesture towards
Even your dreams are of compromise
And for that you expect some reward?
Many times I been slapped on the wrist
Many times I've been warned
I know nothing
And I'm certain of less
But I treat well the things that keep me warm
Oh, my girl
My girl
Take it as it comes
Now I just take what I get
When all is sold
And truth gets told
Who will be lying in the shade
And who'll be asking for more?
