The djembe, bongos and rollicking bass line are centerpieces in this tale of love gone awry.
Did you ever just get so fed up with a bad relationship, but find yourself entangled by circumstance?
Has an extended period of poor decision making ever got you into a situation you can no longer stand?
And then you got mad and you just snapped?
And you write a song about it?
That’s what I did.
I got mad.
And I wrote a song.
– Jason
lyrics
No not knowing where we’re going, only knowing where we’ve been
I ask: now that you’ve been my lover, could you be my friend?
Not knowing what to say or not knowing what to do
One thousand times I play these games a thousand times I play for you
And all these things you ask for and everything I give
You think I’m asking for too much, I simply ask you let me live
Oh, yeah, I’m so so tired
Yes, I wonder why you fake too much, you break too much
I’m so, so tired
Yes, I wonder why you take too much, you break too much
I’m so, so tired
And I know the time is coming that I’ve got to find my way
From this tangled maze you’ve twisted with those wicked games you play
You just paint your pretty picture with everything you say
You promise that you love me true; behind my back another way
You just run around and doing all those things you do
You think I’m asking for too much, I simply ask you tell the truth
Oh, yeah, I’m so, so tired
Yes, I wonder why you fake too much, you break too much
I’m so, so tired
Yes, I wonder why you play too much, I can’t take this stuff
I’m so, so tired
And every time that I wonder why I made you mine
The thing about it that I realize; my love was blind
So won’t you take this money, take everything
Whoah
Baby take all this money, please
Girl, won’t you take this money
Take everything
Just get the fuck out and leave
