High Maintenance Man

Hot dog

I met him in the city, the neon lights weren't shining

But tea and scones and cake were all around

You know I wasn't looking

He wasn't looking

For lovers

But that is what we found

He came over

We started talking

He asked me questions

Never did he talk about himself

I knew it had been a hard one

He'd known it tough but

The lights still flickered in his eyes

And I was hooked

And I was stung

And I was done

High maintenance man

You're doing what you do, boy, to drive me crazy

High maintenance man

You demand every ounce, every part of my will

High maintenance man

It's true

Some things are sent to test us

To show us new and bold ways

To think about the things you've never done

No way

Can you decline it

The intervention

Deep down you know it's what you're looking for

And I was hooked

And I was stung

And I was done

High maintenance man

You're doing what you do, boy, to drive me crazy

High maintenance man

You demand every ounce, every part of my will

High maintenance man

And the road is a time bomb

Littered in debris

Caught in the cross fire

Fake eyelashes mock me

And through all the accolades

Blowouts and comedowns

Here I stand with my head up high

Poised and ready and reaching high

High maintenance man

Hot dog

I met him in the city, the neon lights weren't shining

But tea and scones and cake were all around

You know I wasn't looking

He wasn't looking

For lovers

But that is what we found

And I was hooked

And I was stung

And I was done

And all the world

It made more sense

And everything

The Art of War

High maintenance man

You're doing what you do, boy, to drive me crazy

High maintenance man

You demand every ounce, every part of my will

High maintenance man

You're doing what you do, boy, to drive me crazy

High maintenance man

You demand every ounce, every part of my will
