When she said, Donʼt waste your words, theyʼre just lies, I cried she was deaf.
BbFBbFBbF
And she worked on my face until breaking my eyes, Then said, What else you got left?
AmGm
It was then that I got up to leave But she said, Donʼt forget,
FBbFBbFBbFBb
Evʼrybody must give something back For something they get.

I stood there and hummed, I tapped on her drum and asked her how come.
BbFBbFBbF
And she buttoned her boot, And straightened her suit, Then she said, Donʼt get cute.
AmGm
So I forced my hands in my pockets And felt with my thumbs,
FBbFBbFBbFBb
And gallantly handed her My very last peice of gum.
FBbFBbFBbF
She threw me outside, I stood in the dirt where evʼry-one walked.
BbFBbFBbF
And after finding Iʼd Forgotten my shirt, I went back and knocked.
AmGm
I waited in the hallway, she went to get it, And I tried to make sense,
FBbFBbFBbFBb
Out of that picture of you in your wheelchair That leaned up against...
FBbFBbFBbF
Her Jamaican rum And when she did come, I asked her for some.
BbFBbFBbF
She said, No, dear. I said, Your words arenʼt clear, Youʼd better spit out your gum.
AmGm
She screamed till her face got so red, Then she fell on the floor,
FBbFBbFBbFBb
And I covered her up and then Thought Iʼd go look through her drawer.
FBbFBbFBbF
And when I was through, I filled up my shoe And brought it to you.
BbFBbFBbF
And you, you took me in, You loved me then, You didnʼt waste time.
BbFBbFBbFBbF
And I, I never took much, I never asked for your crutch, Now donʼt ask for mine.
