I know that face darling/ I’ve seen the way/ you like to see me/ call your name/ See I’ve got this waiting down/ maybe I’ve been lazy about it/ but I got to think it’s time/ for a change/ Go on and blame me girl/ I don’t mind the way you work/ Can I come on out, come on out, come on out/ Now that you’re gone?/ (make it funky now) Stuck here in between you two/ Waiting on someone to lose/ See the problem is that I’m stuck here at/ a quarter past one/ Taking back the moments that/ you’ve already given up/ and I can see that you’re turning the clocks back/ all over again/ trying to steal a moment of fiction back/ that you’ve already given up/ It’s what you’re, doing to me girl/ you’ve got the whole thing burning/ down, down, down, down/ down/ (make it funky now) Stuck here in between you two/ Waiting on someone to lose/ I started the day/ running away/ I started the day/ right here, waiting on you/ (x3) Now I’m done with the way/ that I’m more give than take/ I said I’m done with the way/ I’m singing bout, singing bout, singing/ you do it to me girl/ you’ve got the whole thing burning/ down, down, down, down/ down/ (make it funky now) Stuck here in between you two/ Waiting on someone to lose/

my momma told me to stay away from the kind like you/ and i’ll be damned if she wasn’t right again/ (ooh boy don’t you know she ain’t right) this time i feel in a rut and i’m not sure if i can square it smooth with you/ i don’t think i got the stomach to say what i need to say/ (ooh boy say what you need to say) people pass just like seasons/ you aint got to worry about that/ just keep your heart in check your head on straight/ it’s just as simple as that/ i know/ i been finding it harder and harder to breathe/ i don’t have anything else to give to you/ (ooh anything else i can give to you) our ties may just have come undone, and I’m through/ it’s not the sweetest goodbye i had in mind, but it’s a call will do/ (yes a call will do) because i know that people pass just like seasons/ you aint got to worry about that/ just keep your heart in check your head on straight/ it’s just as simple as that/ i know/
