confide ’cause I’ll be on your side
you know I will, you know I will
my friends are so distressed
and standing on the brink of emptiness
no words I know of to express
this emptiness
confide ’cause I’ll be on your side
you know I will, you know I will
my friends are so distressed
and standing on the brink of emptiness
no words I know of to express
this emptiness
Those words that you said to me, why wasn’t I listening?
and do this for the last time, and do this for the last time, and do this for the last time
Well I don’t care now what you say
‘Cause every day I’m feeling fine with myself
And I don’t care now what you say
Ayayay I’ll do alright by myself
‘Cause I know
‘Cause I remember all the times I tried so hard
And you laughed in my face ’cause you held the cards
Don’t care anymore
And I really ain’t bothered what you think o’ me
‘Cause all I want of you is just a let me be
I don’t care anymore you hear I don’t care no more
I don’t care what you say
I never did believe you much anyway
I won’t be there no more so get out of my way
Let me by I got better things to do with my time
I don’t care anymore
You hear I don’t care anymore I don’t care no more
You listening I don’t care no more no more
You know I don’t care anymore
letting the days go by/let the water hold me down
letting the days go by/water flowing underground
into the blue again/after the money’s gone
once in a lifetime/water flowing underground.
and you may ask yourself
how do I work this?
and you may ask yourself
where is that large automobile?
and you may tell yourself
this is not my beautiful house!
and you may tell yourself
this is not my beautiful wife!
letting the days go by/let the water hold me down
letting the days go by/water flowing underground
into the blue again/after the money’s gone
once in a lifetime/water flowing underground.
same as it ever was…same as it ever was…same as it ever was…
same as it ever was…same as it ever was…same as it ever was…
same as it ever was…same as it ever was…
water dissolving…and water removing
there is water at the bottom of the ocean
carry the water at the bottom of the ocean
remove the water at the bottom of the ocean!
letting the days go by/let the water hold me down
letting the days go by/water flowing underground
into the blue again/in the silent water
under the rocks and stones/there is water underground.
letting the days go by/let the water hold me down
letting the days go by/water flowing underground
into the blue again/after the money’s gone
once in a lifetime/water flowing underground.
and you may ask yourself
what is that beautiful house?
and you may ask yourself
where does that highway go?
and you may ask yourself
am I right?…Am I wrong?
and you may tell yourself
MY GOD!…WHAT HAVE I DONE?
letting the days go by/let the water hold me down
letting the days go by/water flowing underground
into the blue again/in the silent water
under the rocks and stones/there is water underground.
letting the days go by/let the water hold me down
letting the days go by/water flowing underground
into the blue again/after the money’s gone
once in a lifetime/water flowing underground.
same as it ever was…same as it ever was…same as it ever was…
same as it ever was…same as it ever was…same as it ever was…

it gives me the butterflies gives me away till I’m up on my feet again
I’ve been hanging on the phone I’ve been sleeping all alone
I want to kiss you
don’t you know when you’re loving anybody baby
you’re taking a gamble on a little sorrow
but then who cares baby
’cause we may not be here tomorrow no
and if anybody should come along
she gonna give you her love and affection
I’d say get it while you can yeah
hey hey get it while you can
hey hey get it while you can
go on dig your thumbs in I cannot stop giving
sense of security like pockets jingling
midlife crisis
I need something good to get me through the day
Ooooo help me Lord there’s got to be a better way
I need something good to get me through the day
Ooooo help me Lord there’s got to be a better way
[There’s gotta be a better way]
I need something good to get me through the day
Ooooo help me Lord there’s got to be a better way
[There’s got to be a better way]
I’ve gotta get out of here
Sink down, into the dark
Keep on running
