Speak Politely 가사

Thank god almighty the world gave me a friend Feels like I'm coming of age all over again Tonight you'll go home and pleasure yourself to the thought of me Presumptuous I know but its not a question of modesty And certainly not for the lack of me I've made myself available and ready To do the hard work that it can be The hard work to make a woman happy All the secrets of universe Come down to there's really nothing wrong with me And the mystery of how a woman works Is just beyond me I can't afford you to stay I can't afford you to go away Tonight I'll go home and I'll pleasure myself to the thought of you You'll go home and fall right asleep Before I would have told you Hell I could always speak my mind Now when I see you, I speak politely I asked you not to take it personally You said "hey I don't" It'll be easier not to love you So I won't I can't afford you to stay I can't afford you to go away Strangers pat ya on the back and say, “hey man you're gonna be a star! But with no cheerleader in your corner you're really just another dude in a big city, with a fuckin guitar How many singers with a dream are just perverts with agendas? Oh no, not me That's why I appreciated you seeing me the way I wanted to be seen It's ok that you're happy now, happier without me I can't afford you to stay I can't afford you to go away
