lyrics

Tying down another helpless clown
And if he makes a sound you're gonna come around
And put all the faces
In there places
Out at the races

Might have been another point for you
And if we're keeping score, I guess I'll keep it to
I pulled all the stops out
Listened to you shout
Now I'll let you see yourself out

Sorry baby, baby but I can't play along
Disappointing honey but you gotta be strong
I know you're thinking, you're thinking that I done you wrong
All because I don't wanna sing your song

Left it to chance
You never wanted to dance
You're always out to be the victim of a circumstance

The smiling faces
Out at the races
Standing in the correct places

Wouldn't advance
You couldn't get in a trance
You're always siding with yourself we know you gotta lotta terra cotta

Don't think about
Shouldn't drink aloud
It's never nothing more than wasted

Turn on me, you know it's nothing new
I'm gonna back you up, I'm gonna make you stew
I bring home the bacon
Do all the shakin
Have a taste of what I'm making

Breaking down around bad news
You cause a scene because you're so confused
He's the baker, you're the faker, I'm the tastemaker
