The coffee I drink is strong The books that I read are well recommended I thought that I'd write a new song The reasons for which were not comprehended So put the knife back on the shelf I'm hard enough on myself And I don't need you Trying to kill me too Change my socks most every dawn And I keep my trousers impeccably suspended And I'm alright with being wrong But how do you punish one so well intended So stick your blade in someone else I'm hard enough on myself And I don't need you Trying to kill me too Leave my body out of this You know I want to go Curse me and then take off your dress I know just how you throw down Take it slow, down ... I was born a harmony singer Definitely not a band leader I was born just to die With a disposition a bit too shy I was born into the world With a mild affliction for French girls I don't know why I treat me so I'll love her till she lays me low And I was born to make you sound good I was born to make your sound understood

Well my lady told me something Said the way you tie your shoes Tells me all you know about loving And that's you tie 'em looser than you should Well my lady told me something Said the way you make your bed Tells me all you know about leaving And that's you lay your shoes under you head And I said my shoes might talk to you They might tell what I've been through And though my shoes are split to the middle They make a mighty fine pillow Well my lady told me something Said the way you eat your food Tells me all you know about loving And that's you fuss much more when it's good And my lady told me something else Said you can't go on run off by yourself You'll get old and you'll grow cold and your hand no one might hold But, lover, lace 'em as you please And I said my shoes might talk to you They may tell what I've been through And thought my shoes are worn out and brittle They make a mighty fine pillow Well my lady told me something Said the way you sing your song Tells me all you know about loving And that's you flip it o'er just before you think it's done
