When she said
"don't waste your words they're just lies"
I cried she was deaf
And she worked on my face until breaking my eyes
Then said "what else you got left?"
It was then that i got up to leave
But she said "don't forget
Everybody must give something back
For something they get."
I stood there and hummed
I tapped on her drum and asked her how come
And she buttoned her boot
And straightened her suit
Then she said "don't get cute."
So i forced my hands in my pockets
And felt with my thumbs
And gallantly handed her
My very last piece of gum
She threw me outside
I stood in the dirt where ev'ryone walked
And after finding i'd
Forgotten my shirt
I went back and knocked.
I waited in the hallway she went to get it
And i tried to make sense
Out of that picture of you in your wheelchair
That leaned up against...
Her jamaican rum
And when she did come i asked her for some
She said "no dear."
I said "your words aren't clear
You'd better spit out your gum."
She screamed till her face got so red
Then she fell on the floor
And i covered her up and then
Thought i'd go look through her drawer
And when i was through
I filled up my shoe
And brought it to you
And you you took me in
You loved me then
You didn't waste time
And i i never took much
I never asked for your crutch
Now don't ask for mine
