I’ve been depressed, an’ oppressed, repressed an’ obsessed
I’ve regressed, an’ transgressed – I can’t make no progress
I’ve been second-guessed an’ second best
Always put to the test
I feel undressed and over stressed – I think I need some bedrest

I’ve been criticized, an’ analyzed, an’ scrutinized by pernicious eyes
I’ve prophesized, philosophized – I’ve even had to compromise
I’ve been stigmatized, demonized and they tried to cut me down to size
But I’ve realized, to my surprise, that exercise can draw flies
I need to go somewhere and sanitize

Pray for me, good-hearted soul
I’m not too keen on being trolled
Troubles I’ve seen, mistakes’ been made
Gotta save my tail if it’s not too late

Y’see, I’m outdated an’ mismated, kinda jaded and frustrated
I’ve been court mandated then berated, love-hated an’ liberated
I’m fated to be prorated
I guess I just wanna be traded
I’m always under-rated, sedated or inebriated

I’ve been rejected, dejected, dissected an’ I’m disconnected
Triple-sec-ed, blown to heck an’ feelin’ unprotected
I’m constantly corrected, as expected, perhaps just misdirected
I’m prime suspected or else neglected – I’m lookin’ to be resurrected
Please, feel free to interject . . .

Pray for me, good-hearted soul
I’m not too keen on gettin’ trolled
Troubles are many, mistakes aplenty
Savin’ my ass it’s my modus vivendi

I’ve been depressed and oppressed, obsessed an’ all the rest
I’ve been chastized an’ stigmatized
I wanna be traded ‘cause I’m unappreciated
An’ I’m disconnected, I feel neglected

Pray for me, good-hearted soul
I’m not too keen on gettin’ trolled
Troubles I’ve seen, mistakes are many
Savin’ my ass is my modus vivendi

You’d been gone a long weekend when suddenly it clicked
I knew that something wasn’t right
In the back of the closet I came across a broomstick
After you got home on Monday night
I knew that you’d been witchin’ ‘round again

Ain’t nobody safe in this whole damn town
When my girl grabs her shilelagh
And she whacks that bad boy down
Ain’t nobody safe in this whole damn town
When my girl an’ her babes
Go witchin’ ‘round

You told me that you had been reformed
An’ your cover stories seemed so sincere
You said those witchin’ ways had been transformed
But things were not how they appeared
‘Cause you’ve been witchin’ ‘round again

Ain’t nobody safe in this whole damn town
When my girl grabs her shilelagh
And she whacks that bad boy down
There ain’t nobody safe in this whole damn town
When my girl an’ her babes
Go witchin’ ‘round

I’d like to think you’re crazy but I know that isn’t so
There’s wildness in your eyes, but I can tell
Your soul is lined with silver and your heart is made of gold
But if you keep on I’m sure you’re goin’ to hell
‘Cause you’ve been witchin’ ‘round again

Ain’t nobody safe in this whole damn town
When my girl grabs her shilelagh
And she whacks that bad boy down
Ain’t nobody safe in this whole damn town
When my girl an’ her babes
Go witchin’ ‘round

All the people I know try to run my life
Everybody’s giving me their advice
They wanna tell me what I’m doing wrong
They wanna sing for me their ol’ sad songs
An’ I appreciate the thought, but not so fast
Thanks a lot for your concern, but I think I’ll pass

Sometimes, I feel like a target, like I’m prey, of sorts
Why do people wanna get into my shorts
I thought by now I’d have paid my dues
I’m like a stowaway on a ship of fools
I appreciate the thought, but not so fast
Thanks a lot for your concern, but I think I’ll pass

People think that I don’t have a clue
My life’s such a hot mess, “well, pardon you”
I do, what I do, because I do

I don’t mind being analyzed
Helped along, or even criticized
But y’know friendships can get fairly well mistreated
And your guidance isn’t really needed
An’ I absolutely thank you for your concern, however, since you asked
I appreciate the thought, but I think I’ll pass

People seem to think that I don’t have a clue
My life’s such a hot mess, “well, pardon, you”
I do, what I do, because I do

An’ anybody can tell that I don’t have a clue
My life’s such a hot mess, that may be true
But I do, what I do, because I do

(And I’ll do what I do because I do)

I saw you last night
I tried not to notice
tried not to stare
You were alone
Were you looking for someone?
Why were you there?

I saw you last night
All our memories came back to me
All the passion once forgotten

From a step-up stage
In a run-down downtown cabaret
I saw you last night

The night was slow
The lights were low
Perhaps, you stopped to say, “hello”
I saw you last night

I saw you last night
I tried not to notice
tried not to stare
I saw you were alone
Were you looking for someone?
Why were you there?

You were just as I remember
Though our passion now forgotten

The night was slow
The lights were low
Perhaps you stopped to say, ‘hello”
I saw you last night

Through a smoky haze
From a step-up stage
In a run-down downtown cabaret
I saw you last night
And then you were gone

Suddenly my knees got weak
And I could hardly speak
I’d loved you from afar so long
I’d never felt this way before
You gave me that look and
Then you took my hand
Before I knew what hit me
We were floating ‘cross the floor

Love me till this dance is over
Love me till this song has ended
Love me just a little while
However unintended
Hold me like you mean it
And I may not recover
If you love me
Till this dance is over

I can’t describe the feeling
What came over us this evening
Other people seemed to melt away
And time stood still
Our bodies never warmer
Our hearts beat close together
Heavy as an anvil
Lighter than a feather

Love me till this dance is over
Love me till this song has ended
Love me just a little while
However unintended
Hold me like you mean it
And I may not recover
If you love me
Till this dance is over
