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 (x2)
Present me with an easy flow
And then I will go
Don't delude me (x2)
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 (x2)
If there's stars in your eyes
Then let them shine bright
Don't delude me (x2)
If you have a tricky foot
Then let me see that foot
Don't delude me (x2)
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 (x2)
I'm wondering in my way
I've had a busy day
Don't delude me (x2)
And the confusion that keeps me going
Is going and going
And I'm not going
Don't delude me (x2)
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 (x2)
Don't you delude, delude me
Don't delude me (x4)
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
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 (x2)
Present me with an easy flow
And then I will go
Don't delude me (x2)
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 (x2)
If there's stars in your eyes
Then let them shine bright
Don't delude me (x2)
If you have a tricky foot
Then let me see that foot
Don't delude me (x2)
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 (x2)
