You got a lot of theories
They all sound pretty sound
Most of them make good sense
And some are downright profound
You try them out of me
Just to see how they fly
You want them to fit me like a suit
That’s a little pie in the sky
Still I struggle to understand ‘em
At the very least demystify
Once again you’ve gotten over on me
Once again I gotta take it on the chin
Once again you’ve gotten over on me
Once again to my eternal chagrin
You seem pretty darn smart
Or at least I thought you were
But when I thought more deeply about it
I couldn’t wholeheartedly concur
Maybe you intended to hurt me
Maybe you wanted me dead
Not sure of your rationale
Maybe it’s better unsaid
I laid myself before you
Like smooth stones in a riverbed
I am a fool
I let you done do it
I am fool
Yeah I done blew it
You act super confident
And that’s part of your con
I don’t really know which side
My bread is buttered on
But I am a believer
Unfortunately
Yeah being a believer
Has been the frickin’ death of me
I ain’t being metaphorical or using hyperbole
