Something to Say Songtext
He′s got a thing 'bout losin′ control
Carries it a mile just to see how far he'll go
Brushes up his chops as he tries to fake a smile
A friend indeed, but I need someone to stay a while
Someone to stay a while
You can bend my ear
We will talk all day
Just make sure I'm around when you′ve finally got somethin′ to say
Drops hints, but he won't tell you what′s really on his mind
But I know if I look, it's easy to find
He′s got a way with his anger, the way he lets it show
Like the smolderin' smoke when the fire′s left the coals
Fire's left the coals
You can take me down
You can show me your home
Not the place where you live
But the place where you belong
You can bend my ear
We will talk all day
Just make sure I'm around when you′ve finally got somethin′ to say
Eh
Eh
Eh
And what do you mean by "I don't deserve this life?"
Well his door′s always open
He's always got the time
To give a little somethin′, even though it gets behind
Your trips become his
And your lives are entwined
But like the horse with the jockie
It's all in your mind
It′s all in your mind
You can take me down
You can show me your home
Not the place where you live
But the place where you belong
You can bend my ear
We will talk all day
Just make sure I'm around when you've finally got somethin′ to say
Finally got somethin′
Finally got somethin'
Finally got somethin′ to say
Carries it a mile just to see how far he'll go
Brushes up his chops as he tries to fake a smile
A friend indeed, but I need someone to stay a while
Someone to stay a while
You can bend my ear
We will talk all day
Just make sure I'm around when you′ve finally got somethin′ to say
Drops hints, but he won't tell you what′s really on his mind
But I know if I look, it's easy to find
He′s got a way with his anger, the way he lets it show
Like the smolderin' smoke when the fire′s left the coals
Fire's left the coals
You can take me down
You can show me your home
Not the place where you live
But the place where you belong
You can bend my ear
We will talk all day
Just make sure I'm around when you′ve finally got somethin′ to say
Eh
Eh
Eh
And what do you mean by "I don't deserve this life?"
Well his door′s always open
He's always got the time
To give a little somethin′, even though it gets behind
Your trips become his
And your lives are entwined
But like the horse with the jockie
It's all in your mind
It′s all in your mind
You can take me down
You can show me your home
Not the place where you live
But the place where you belong
You can bend my ear
We will talk all day
Just make sure I'm around when you've finally got somethin′ to say
Finally got somethin′
Finally got somethin'
Finally got somethin′ to say
