Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I was made the wrong way
Won't you do me the right way
Where you gonna be tonight?
'Cause I won't stay too long
[Verse 2]
Maybe you're the life of me
When you talk to me, it strikes me
Won't somebody help me?
'Cause I don't feel too strong
[Verse 3]
Was it something that I said?
Was it something that I did?
Or the combination of both that did me in?
[Verse 4]
You know I'm hoping you'll sing along
Though it's not your favorite song
Don't wanna be there when there's nothing left to say
[Verse 5]
You know that some of us spin again
And when you do, you need a friend
Don't wanna be there when there's nothing left for me
And I hate the thought of finally being erased
But baby, that's the best of me
[Verse 6]
Everything's behind you
But the hopeless signs beside you
I'm livin' in the moment
Have I wasted all your time?
[Verse 7]
Was it something that I said?
Was it something that I did?
Or the combination of both that did me in?
[Verse 8]
You know I'm hoping you'll sing along
And though it's not your favorite song
Don't wanna be there when there's nothing left to say
[Verse 9]
You know that some of us spin again
And when you do, you need a friend
Don't wanna be there when there's nothing left for me
And I hate the thought of finally being erased
But baby, that's the best of me, yeah
Baby, that's the best of me
[Verse 10]
You know I'm hoping you'll sing along
Though it's not your favorite song
Don't wanna be there when there's nothing left to say
[Verse 11]
You know that some of us spin again
And when you do, you need a friend
Don't wanna be there when there's nothing left for me
And I hate the thought of finally being erased
But baby, that's the best of me
