Good is it me or is it you, I'd make a wager and I'd hope you lose 
D                                       A 
Time's gone, looks like Rome is 'bout to fall

Next time take the elevator, please don't crawl

That was then, this is now, don't ask me to be mister clean

Baby, I don't know how 
D                                          A 
Ring my phone 'bout ten more times, we will see

Find that broke down line and let it be

Your wasted words will never be heard, go on home baby and watch it on TV

Weekday soap-box specialty, you know what I'm talkin' 'bout now
