Been waking up mornings
Bolts in my throat
Think I've done all the talking
Now I just sit and croak
Seems only appropriate
To try feed you a smile
But I keep on choking
Let's get away for awhile
Lover, I'm pleading with you
I just don't know what to do
Lover, I'm pleading with you
I just don't know what to do
Gonna get in your car
You know it isn't too far
Gonna drive towards the calm
See if the world still holds calm
And I know you've gotta work
You ain't getting no help
But I can pay your way, at least for a few days
So don't worry yourself
Lover, I'm pleading with you
I just don't know what to do
Lover, I'm pleading with you
I just don't know what to do
Lover, I'm pleading with you
I just don't know what to do
Lover, I'm pleading with you
I just, I just, I just don't know
I don't talk to those people anymore
That's not why I'm going
I don't talk to those people anymore
Just need a chance to get home
But life keeps on going
'Til we're all set in stone
You tell me you're busy
Think I already knew
Punching in, clocking off
Dressing down, scrubbing up
Doing what you've got to do
And I know I can take it
Though I'm thinner than ply
Cities just shake me
But I can just shut my eyes
Lover, I'm pleading with you
I just don't know what to do
Lover, I'm pleading with you
I just don't know what to do
Lover, I'm pleading with you
