You nag me and you haunt me And you tell me dirty lies You think you've pulled it off But for some time I've realized That everything you do is to drive me from my mind I've been listening to the silence for your tiptoes in the night I'm wise, wise to you You've never faced the day when judgement comes to town You've been dealing from the bottom, dealing dirty, deep, and down You got yourself a boyfriend who'll be comin' 'round tonight While I'm outside aworkin' and doing overtime I'm wise, wise to you You think it's sugar powder 'cause everything's so sweet When you melt away the glaze of all the people that you see The more I'm educated, the more I hang on the cord You can cut the lies 'cause I know what's going on I'm wise, wise to you
