[intro]
Sister, I paid the tax yesterday
Sister, don't you forget my number, on this door
You've got something and it's so good to see
Something wonderful that I could not be
Everybody hanging on for their lives
But you can't help them 'cos you don't have the time
I know, everyone goes any damn place they like
I hope this goes over well, on the toxic radio
You get taken all the time for a fool
I don't know why
You're so gullible but I don't mind
That's not the problem
And I don't need anyone with me right now
Monday, Tuesday is my weekend
You get taken for a fool all the time
I don't know why
[solo]
But do look forwards, quiet putting on me
I can't let you do those things when it means
It's so early I don't want to wake up
I wish I left you 'cos we never grew up.
Mama, it feels like just yesterday
Mama, don't you forget my number?
I don't want to be the one at the door
I know, everyone goes any damn place they choose
and I hope everyone will, on the toxic radio
Don't rest in the ghetto, not afraid of anything
Except that anything else that could maybe hurt them all?
You get taken all the time for a fool
I don't know why
You're so gullible but I don't mind
That's not the problem
And I don't need anyone with me right now
Monday, Tuesday is my weekend
You get taken for a fool all the time
I don't know why
You get taken all the time for a fool
I don't know why
I don't know why
