My day usually starts in the neighborhood of two

And that's when you're wanting a call

What can I say I've got some things that I've got to do

I been throwin' darts at the wall

Yeah, well sometimes folks are fragile and sometimes I don't think

Even if I did it might not change a thing

What were you expecting maybe flowers in the mail

And God forbid I bought a diamond ring

Now if you can find a reason how I'm the one to blame

You better write up Congress and have them pass a law

That the world starts and stops at the drop of your will

And I'll get crucified for it all

This may sound too drastic or alcohol induced

But anything worth saying should be said

What part of “I'm staying single” did you not understand

Right now you're wishing I was dead

Chorus

Things ain't ever as good as they seem

And we never do what we should

So don't set there and come apart at the seams

And don't blame it on me I told you sometimes, well I'm no damn good

Well there's somewhere that I'm going and it ain't where you belong

I know it's hard to see from where you are

Someday you'll thank me when you're married to a banker

On the upside of town in your flashy car

Yeah but me I'll still be running from love and luck and the devil

I'll find a new place to watch that setting sun

Well the time is always passin' so I'm telling you not asking

Better go on turn the other way and run

Chorus
