yo la tengo - fourth time around lyrics
when she said, “don’t waste your words, they’re just lies”
i cried she was deaf
and she worked on my face until breaking my eyes
and what else you got left
it was then that i got up to leave
but she said, “don’t forget
everybody must give something back
for something they get”
i stood there and hummed, i tapped on her drum
i asked her how come
and she b-ttoned her boot and straightened her suit
then she said, “don’t get cute”
so, i forced my hands in my pockets
and felt with my thumbs
and gallantly handed her
my very last piece of gum
she threw me outside, i stood in the dirt
where everyone walked
and after finding that i forgotten my shirt
i went back and knocked
i waited in the hallway, she went to get it
and i tried to make sense
out of that picture of you in your wheelchair
that leaned up against
her jamaican rum and when she did come
i asked her for some
she said, “no, dear”, i said, “your words aren’t clear
you’d better spit out your gum”
she screamed till her face got so red
then she fell on the floor
and i covered her up and then
thought i’d go look through her drawer
and when i was through i filled up my shoe
and brought it to you
and you, you took me in, you loved me then
you never wasted time
and i, i never took much
i never asked for your crutch
now, don’t ask for mine
