What's this song about?
Generate meaning
1
Why do you always seem to criticize me
2
Seems like everything I do just turns out wrong
3
Why don't you come on out and despise me
4
So I could pack my bag and baby I'd be gone
5
Remember when you used to call me honey
6
I'd turn around and call you honey too
7
You might think it's a joke, but it ain't funny
8
To hurt someone who's so in love with you
9
A clown puts his makeup on upside down
10
So he wears a smile even when he wears a frown
11
You might think I'm here when you put me down
12
But actually I'm on the other side of town.
13
My body's in this room with you just catching hell
14
While my soul is drinking beer down the road a spell
15
You might think I'm listening to your grocery list
16
But I'm leaning on the jukebox and I'm about half ... way there
17
A clown puts his makeup on upside down
18
So he wears a smile even when he wears a frown
19
You might think I'm here when you put me down
20
But actually I'm on the other side of town.
21
I'm sittin' on a chair just behind my ear
22
Playing dominoes and drinking some ice cold beer
23
When you get done talking I'll come back downstairs
24
And assume the body of the person you presume who cares
25
I'm across the river on the other side of town
26
In my mind I'm on the other side of town
