My day usually starts in the neighborhood of two And that's when you're wanting a call What can I say I've got some things that I've got to do I been throwin' darts at the wall Yeah, well sometimes folks are fragile and sometimes I don't think Even if I did it might not change a thing What were you expecting maybe flowers in the mail And God forbid I bought a diamond ring Now if you can find a reason how I'm the one to blame You better write up Congress and have them pass a law That the world starts and stops at the drop of your will And I'll get crucified for it all This may sound too drastic or alcohol induced But anything worth saying should be said What part of I'm staying single did you not understand Right now you're wishing I was dead Chorus Things ain't ever as good as they seem And we never do what we should So don't set there and come apart at the seams And don't blame it on me I told you sometimes, well I'm no damn good Well there's somewhere that I'm going and it ain't where you belong I know it's hard to see from where you are Someday you'll thank me when you're married to a banker On the upside of town in your flashy car Yeah but me I'll still be running from love and luck and the devil I'll find a new place to watch that setting sun Well the time is always passin' so I'm telling you not asking Better go on turn the other way and run
