Why am i sitting here thinking how to make amends   oh i could bite my lip and dye my roots and start again say   you were always right but that would be cheating   i don want to talk to you and you don't want to talk to me   so I'll shut my eyes and think of England while i sleep   why are these nights in so necessary      i will take my time and I'll open up my mind for you   so we can talk about it   your not my best friend and you never will be         your yellow teeth and ur white lies   they try to find me out   all of the words that sound absurd now come out your mouth do   you realize just what your saying      and if i leave this room and all the walls came crashing down   I'd take it on the chin but i won't take it lying down so   I'll back the underdog and I'll collect my winnings      i will take my time and I'll open up my mind for you   so we can talk about it   your not my best friend and you never will be      and if you should change your colors or change your mind   I'm not one to be holding grudges i like to let sleeping dogs lie   but by the same token i will not forget    how you hang draw and quarter those you don't respect   so let's not pretend that we are best of friends because   that would be a lie i i      i will take my time I'll open up my mind    oh i will take my time I'll open up my mind for you
