The harder I struggle 

The tighter you grip 

But don't need to tell you 

That's the way that I want it 

I'm easy to follow 

You're easy to spot 

I bet I can shake you off 

But I gotta wanna do it 



What good are the times 

That I catch you alone? 

It took an eternity and 

I forgot what I wanted 

What good are the times 

That I take you to task? 

You get me distracted 

And I forget that I'm mad 



I'm up on the counter 

You're down on the floor 

The kitchen is dirty 

Pots and pans are flying 

No food in the cupboard 

A knock at the door 

Let's give it a rest now 

Buy a beer at the corner store 



I'm going to bed now dear 

But you still want more 

And every single word you say 

I've heard before 

Oh you are an angel 

When you're in recline 

And like an anxious fist 

My lullabye works fine 



Lullabye and good night 

Ain't that a great song? 

You're an angel in recline 

Please go to bed dear 

Please go to bed dear please
