What About

You were not what I needed
Was not drunk, just defeated, so I stayed
And of course I don't want you
I just want to hear what you would say

And on my way home, I screamed, "I get it!"
And the sky screamed right back, "
So why'd you let it do you this way?"

And don't write me lines from your steel box
All propped on wheels, warmed by exhaust
Clothesline, clothesline for hearts to share
With the holes to my heart like the linen I wear

And all the popular girls, they stare
At the hundred and odd pounds I bear, bear

So what about me?
Me on top of you
All soft in your ear
Time-tested radio tunes
And what about me?
Me on top of you
All soft in your ear
Time-tested radio tunes
Time-tested radio tunes

Well, hey, hey, man with the ramblin' machine
Steady in the place of your memory
On and on and on to Spain
Where they don't duck and roll at the crash of your name

I will grant you a cameo, baby
With the sound of a stage
And the sway of a lady, of a lady

So what about me?
Me on top of you
All soft in your ear
Time-tested radio tunes

You were not what I needed
Was not drunk, just defeated, so I stayed
And of course I don't want you
I just want to hear what you would say

And on my way home, I screamed, "I get it!"
And the sky screamed right back, "
So why'd you let it do you this way?"

So what about me?
Me on top of you
All soft in your ear
Time-tested radio tunes
Time-tested radio tunes
Time-tested radio tunes
