I Mention This In Passing Twice
I'll Hold My Tongue As Long As Nothing Understood Is Nice
It's Just My Way To Criticize
I Understand A Little Less Than Maybe's Wise

It Really Takes Me Down (I Always Lie To Begin With)
It Really Takes Me Down (Everything's Mine All Along)
I Promise Not A Sound (Say Something That I'll Remember)
'Cause It Really Takes Me Down (Something Is Turning Out Wrong)

I Need Convincing Long Before
I'll Disregard A Few Things
I'll Allow A Few Things More
It's All The Time I Can Afford
Not To Expect Much In The Way Of Our Reward
