Take my money as you go and
All this time appears to show that
You need it?more?than I do?now

I'm writing down the outlines
Finding clues?in daylight
I know it starts all over now

There is a moral to the story
But I don't know what it is
I recognize the story
But there is something that I miss

Leave the table when you're done and
Past the door you start to run
I need you more than I detect

I wrote the story backward
It didn't ask the question
Can you tell me what it meant

There is a moral to the story
But I don't know what it is
I recognize the story
But there is something that I miss

If it starts all over
Let me know the clue
'Cause I try to find a moral
And I don't think it is you

Ooh, and it's not the mouth that gets it right
From the start it's nice as one could want
Ooh, as if there's something there to find
But the only thing is time

Ooh, and it's not
Ooh, and it's not
Ooh, and it's not (moral to the story)
Ooh, and it's not (moral to the story)

Take my money as you go and
All this time appears to show that
You need it more than I do now
