She said, "Tell me what it's all about"
I said, "Why, why, why?"
It's just something you could do without
You better try, try, try
She said, "I can't reach you on the telephone
I can't hold you when you're not at home"
You keep saying that you're all alone
That's a lie, lie, lie
Bad advice
Has me down and undone
Got to try again
To believe in myself
Look at me
I'm alone in the end
Can you see me falling
Falling down?
I said, "Mama, can you get it straight?"
She said, "Why, why, why?"
I wanna tell you that it just can't wait
So let's try, try, try
She said, "I don't know where you might have gone
I don't care because you've done me wrong"
You been doing it far too long
So goodbye, bye, bye
Bad advice
Has me down and undone
Got to try again
To believe in myself
Look at me
I'm alone in the end
Can you see me falling
Falling down?
She said, Tell me what it's all about
I said, "Why, why, why?"
It's just something you can do without
You better try, try, try, try
And I can't reach you on the telephone
I can't hold you when you're not at home
You keep saying that you're all alone
That's a lie, lie, lie
