lyrics

I'll Tell You When I'm Done

pipe down
I'm trying to sleep here
this summer's over
and the party is done
always
whining and moaning
get yourself a backbone
before the winter's come
heartbreak
falling to pieces
nobody asked you for a
valentine
some day
you'll get it together
you've got a good thing
but you're wasting my time

stand back
what'd you say?
why you gotta be that way?
bought them
fairy tales
but someone bought you a coffin nail
stand back
don't be a fool
you'll never make a living
playing pool
no where
you should be
so have another drink with me
ain't having fun?
well, I'll tell you when I'm done

damn straight
'dja hear what I said?
I gave you comfort
and a place to lay your head
what now?
stop pissing me off
you don't call the doctor
every time you get a cough
blind fool
the thing that you don't see
this ain't no Hallmark card
get off your knee
listen
don't misunderstand
what made you thought
you'd ever sing in a band?

stand back
what'd you say?
why you gotta be that way?
bought them
fairy tales
but someone bought you a coffin nail
stand back
don't be a fool
you'll never make a living
playing pool
no where
you should be
so have another drink with me
ain't having fun?
well, I'll tell you when I'm done
