There's a situation
that you don't know about
There's a little problem
That I can't do without

So don't you try me
this time
Say (?) there are nicer words than this
So don't you try me this time

Don't you know that it's wrong?
Hey you're ballin' up your fist all day long.
Talking bout the weather
Waiting til it's 5
If we're still alive
Here you go to disappear
And I can go and hide
I can go to hide

Alice talked to Porter
and Porter talked to Tom
Word got back to Cathy
She passed the savings on

So don't you try me
This time
Birds of a feather
Oughta talk about some other fella
So don't try me this time

Now I'm down on my knees
I'm scrambling on the ground for my keys
Everybody else is smiling
They got something else
They're keeping to themselves.
(??) something more
Always having something more...

Everyone is smilin'
But they got something else
There's a little story
they're keeping to themselves
So don't you try me
this time
Say you should try it
In your defensive drivin'
Don't try me this time

With just a case, you don't find a reason
to put it in writing
And don't you try me now
You know that it's wrong

Sudden silence on the telephone
I smile, you know I'm not alone
And I say something small
But I should've said I'm down on my knees

There's a situation
that you don't know about
There's a little problem
That I can't do without
So don't you try me
This time
Birds of a feather
Oughta talk about some other fella
Don't try me this time
Birds of a feather
Oughta talk about some other fella
Don't try me this time
