4th Time Around
4
by Bob Dylan
5
When she said,
6
"Don't waste your words, they're just lies,"
7
I cried she was deaf.
8
And she worked on my face until breaking my eyes,
9
Then said, "What else you got left?"
10
It was then that I got up to leave
11
But she said, "Don't forget,
12
Everybody must give something back
13
For something they get."
14
I stood there and hummed,
15
I tapped on her drum and asked her how come.
16
And she buttoned her boot,
17
And straightened her suit,
18
Then she said, "Don't get cute."
19
So I forced my hands in my pockets
20
And felt with my thumbs,
21
And gallantly handed her
22
My very last piece of gum.
23
She threw me outside,
24
I stood in the dirt where ev'ryone walked.
25
And after finding I'd
26
Forgotten my shirt,
27
I went back and knocked.
28
I waited in the hallway, she went to get it,
29
And I tried to make sense
30
Out of that picture of you in your wheelchair
31
That leaned up against . . .
32
Her Jamaican rum
33
And when she did come, I asked her for some.
34
She said, "No, dear."
35
I said, "Your words aren't clear,
36
You'd better spit out your gum."
37
She screamed till her face got so red
38
Then she fell on the floor,
39
And I covered her up and then
40
Thought I'd go look through her drawer.
41
And, when I was through
42
I filled up my shoe
43
And brought it to you.
44
And you, you took me in,
45
You loved me then
46
You didn't waste time.
47
And I, I never took much,
48
I never asked for your crutch.
49
Now don't ask for mine.
