[Intro]

[Verse 1]
They’re messing with my mind,
Everybody else seems fine,
Say my coat is only worth a dime.
They try to tell me,
That my heart don’t stand a chance,
Don’t speak for me,
I know this dance.

[Verse 2]
I wanna put a notion in your head,
While I lie awake in bed,
Take one hard look at yourself and see,
And I’m not preaching,
And I’m fine lean on me,
Step up that pedestal,
Ooh please.

[Pre-Chorus 1]
And I end up wondering,
How much more that I could take,
Better be a whole lot more, boy,
For goodness sake.

[Chorus 1]
She tried to tell me:
Can’t always be perfect,
It’s more than I bargained for,
But it’s worth it.
It’s in your soul babe,
Relinquish all control,
But to take my own advice,
Now make em out or never rate or rise.

[Post-Chorus]
All it is depends on me,
And how I turned the view,
Everything I see.

[Interlude]

[Verse 3]
They’re messing with my mind,
Taking up all my time,
Say my coat is only worth a dime.
They try to tell me:
Son, he, two plus two is five,
Makes sense to me,
It adds, sounds right.

[Verse 4]
I wanna put a notion in your head,
While I lie awake in bed,
Take one hard look at yourself and see,
There must be something goin’ ‘round this time of year,
But what it is,
This ain’t too clear.

[Pre-Chorus 2]
And I end up wondering,
What the hell that I should do,
Take it as it comes to you, boy,
Think brass and see it through (?).

[Chorus 2]
She tried to tell me:
Warned me of my ways,
Day by day I make the same mistakes,
It’s in your soul babe,
Relinquish all control,
But to take my own advice,
Now make em out or never rate or rise.

[Outro]
All it is depends on me,
And how I turned the view,
Everything I see.
