I am precious in my way And I had a busy day So don't delude me Don't delude me I have awful little time And I want to hear the rhyme Don't delude me Present me with an easy flow And then I will go Don't delude me You are the hatchet man And I think you understand So don't delude me Don't delude me Oh you delude me And I think you're rude to me Rude rude rude rude You don't need to delude me Don't delude me If there's stars in your eyes Then let them shine bright Don't delude me If you have a tricky foot Then let me see that foot Don't delude me A pointed shoe in my back Will make my spirit crack So don't delude me Don't delude me Well give me chance to run Give me chance to go Don't delude me Oh don't delude me Oh don't you, don't you delude me Don't delude me I'm wondering in my way I've had a busy day Don't delude me And the confusion that keeps me going Is going and going And I'm not going Don't delude me I am now rowing on a boat In a river somewhere And you're deluding me You're deluding me If I'm going to sink Then please God let me sink Don't delude me Don't you delude, delude me Don't delude me I don't want to see sunshine when it's raining I'm not concerned if you are telling lies I'm much more concerned with the problem That turns my dark eyes into light
