1
When she said, "Don't waste your words, they're just lies"
2
I cried she was deaf
3
And she worked on my face until breaking my eyes
4
And what else you got left
5
It was then that I got up to leave
6
But she said, "Don't forget
7
Everybody must give something back
8
For something they get"
9
I stood there and hummed, I tapped on her drum
10
I asked her how come
11
And she buttoned her boot and straightened her suit
12
Then she said, "Don't get cute"
13
So, I forced my hands in my pockets
14
And felt with my thumbs
15
And gallantly handed her
16
My very last piece of gum
17
She threw me outside, I stood in the dirt
18
Where everyone walked
19
And after finding that I forgotten my shirt
20
I went back and knocked
21
I waited in the hallway, she went to get it
22
And I tried to make sense
23
Out of that picture of you in your wheelchair
24
That leaned up against
25
Her Jamaican rum and when she did come
26
I asked her for some
27
She said, "No, dear", I said, "Your words aren't clear
28
You'd better spit out your gum"
29
She screamed till her face got so red
30
Then she fell on the floor
31
And I covered her up and then
32
Thought I'd go look through her drawer
33
And when I was through I filled up my shoe
34
And brought it to you
35
And you, you took me in, you loved me then
36
You never wasted time
37
And I, I never took much
38
I never asked for your crutch
39
Now, don't ask for mine
