Out of the corner of my tired eyes, I'm not surprised
It's now a quarter past, too late, nothing new
It's no case out of the ordinary
I'm so very wrapped around your finger this time
Oh, won't you give me awhile to unwind?

You're on top of the world and I'm just waiting, making up your excuse
You say that love's tough, are you sure?
Ain't it just a piece of cake to make me look like a fool?
Look like a fool?

You're like a splinter, just killing me slowly from inside
The piercing winter is so much more inviting than the stare in your eyes
One heavy cinderblock, like a rock
You're just staying, weighing, breaking me down
I'm crying out, you don't hear me, you don't hear a sound

You're on top of the world and I'm just waiting, making up your excuse
You say that love's tough, are you sure?
Ain't it just a piece of cake to make me look like a fool?
Look like a fool?

Hope I've lost enough to win you back, your prize
To put you up sky high, get your pride back to its familiar place
And I hope it cost enough of my dear, precious time
To lift your spirits, spark your smile

You're on top of the world and I'm just waiting, making up your excuse
You say that love's tough, are you sure?
Ain't it just a piece of cake to make me look like a fool?
Look like a fool?

You're on top of the world and I'm just waiting, making up your excuse
You say that love's tough, are you sure?
Ain't it just a piece of cake to make me look like a fool?
Look like a fool?
Baby, baby, look like a fool
