Come  now and listen babe
 I gotta reason why I  behave
 Like a child with a light in eyes
 Running naked  on a cold winter  night
 Like a pigeon that's spreadin' his wings
 to fly  away to better  things
 Like a hammer that has made a dent
 in every  little single cent  you’ve spent
 Said oh God  you’ve got to help me a little bit
 you’ve  got to have a relief file for me
Now  I know I’m always right, that’s a
thought  that never even crossed  my mind
 Don’t touch  me there I’ve gotta be pure
 So smack  that hand, and read  this verse
 So I wrecked your life, what  the heck
 My new  found faith will  pay by check
 This life’s  took a toll on my soul
Oh_______yeah________  this life's  took a toll on my soul
 So this is me and that’s my song
 And I guess that you can see that we don’t get along
 I’ve shut the doors on what we had
 so now she can sleep with her Dear ol’ Dad
 my eyes are dry and my hands are clean
 and I can’t believe all the things I’ve seen
 Oh My God!!
