Invitation from out of state:
“Hey, come along for the dreaming.”
Pushed your buttons and I pulled my weight;
Now you’re here for the weekend.
So friendly a face—a good stroke of luck in a place
That could very well take me down.
But something you say says you’re only giving me time of day
Because I’ll take you to higher ground.
So if that’s why you’re sticking around…
CHORUS:
Oh, okay, okay,
You’ve got a whole lot of nerve coming ‘round my door.
In no way, no way
Are you somebody I’m doing favors for.
Brought my gifts and I brought them loud;
I never saw you refuse them.
But the pillows and blankets all laid out,
You never wanted to use them.
Now it’s more of the same.
It’s not that you’re giving me pain,
But I have my suspicions when
You come back into frame after days of forgetting my name,
Now you’re suddenly my best friend.
You tell me the treasure I've been, but like…
CHORUS:
Oh, okay, okay,
You’ve got a whole lot of nerve coming ‘round my door.
In no way, no way
Are you somebody I’m doing favors for.
