lyrics

Thanks I Get

Whether my strength is my weakness,
Or my weakness is my strength
It seems that when I hold you,
I hold you at arms length
The bastards come out blasting,
But they’re all shooting blanks
A spank and a scolding is all the thanks I get

That’s the thanks I get
For giving away the time of day
It’s not over yet
So come on let’s play, before we’re old and grey

I made you a promise,
You took it all the way to the bank
My interest kept rising,
While my heart just sank
You said you want a team player,
But it’s all file and rank
My potent protests,
Are reduced to just a whine and a crank

But no regrets
That’s the thanks I get
For giving away the time of day
It’s not over yet
So come on let’s play, before we’re old and grey

You can try to fight it, but when push comes to shove
It cuts you down to size
Cause we are bound to become, what we see through the eyes
Of the ones we love

You said there must be a better place, to direct my rage
And give me a shove, and motion toward the stage
But when I get going, a crooked cane cuts me off with a yank
The meter’s on empty, there’s nothing left in the tank, to forget

No regrets
That’s the thanks I get
For giving away the time of day
It’s not over yet
And I want you to stay, until we’re old and grey
