Don't come around, girl you can't help me now
I wouldn't let you know it if I was down and out
You ain't nothing but a voice on the telephone
And a good dream I don't wanna talk about

You only heard what you wanted to
Missed the only thing that they wanted you to get
And you can bend the words in the first verse
Make it mean anything that you're comfortable with

I fall in love with the characters on television shows
That I wish resembled my life
Wait a minute, I can tell you all about it
It's a little bit pathetic, I pretend it's alright

You missed the message, you were passive aggressive
And you turned that television down
Had you thinking it's ok to be the devil
Just don't ever ever slip up and do it out loud

It was a rough patch now looking back
Time was almost up
We need a remedy, a song about equality
A part of me still gets stuck

Don't come around, girl you can't help me now
I wouldn't let you know it if i was down and out
Wait a minute, don't make me think about it
It was on when I had it, but you know it's gone now
