You were the one who said : 'Look, boy, you're always running'
But you didn't know the things that I had on top of me
And this wall to wall things that you're all so very fond of
Well, it's harmin' me.
And when I met you in the subway station
You looked as though you hadn't seen the queen's face for a while
Well, I ain't got much but you can take my future
It's not doin' me any good so you lend it for a while.
Why why why why why ?
Come on, why do you wanna say these things to me ?
I'm gonna stay so far away from you, girl
That's if you stay so far away from me.
I've been away too long and I'm tired of losing you
And all the dagger things you want to say to me, well, I can be dumb for you
But if I can get some sleep tonight
You'll know it's almost half the fight for me.
Why why why why why ?
Come on, why do you wanna say these things to me ?
Well, this wall to wall thing you're all so very fond of
Don't you know it's crucifying me ?
And when I see you in the subway station
You looked as though you hadn't seen the queen's face for a while
Well, I ain't got much but you can take my future
You know it's not doin' me any good so you can lend it for a while.
Why ?
Girl, why do you wanna say these things to me ?
And you know this wall to wall thing you're all so very fond of
Oooh, it's crucifying me.
And when I see you in the subway station
You looked as though you hadn't seen the queen's face for a while.
