Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Well he's not necessarily trying to say that he minds it
But someone plays evil tricks on that kid
Well he's not necessarily trying to say god can't be trusted
But someone plays evil tricks on that kid
And certain situations scream for deviations
But somehow he always gets stuck in the middle
Of this and that and man he should try less
Every time he's rejected man he loses affection
[Verse 2]
But don't we all, don't we just got to give a little time
Maybe give a friend a call instead of making him confused
What a terrible thing for you to do
What an awful thing for you to say
What a terrible thing for you to relay
[Verse 3]
Well I know some people's they got a little less than nothing
But still find some to spare
And other people got more than they could use
But they don't share
And some people got problems man
They got awful complications
Other people got perfect situations
With no provocation
[Verse 4]
But don't we all, don't we just got to give a little time
Maybe give a friend a call instead of making him confused
What a terrible thing for you to do
What an awful thing for you to say
What a terrible thing for you
Confused
[Verse 5]
What a terrible thing for you to do
What an awful thing for you to say
What a terrible thing for you to relay
[Verse 6]
Somehow we always get stuck in the middle (Confused)
Somehow we always get stuck in the middle (What a terrible thing for you to do)
Somehow we always get stuck in the middle
Somehow we always get stuck in the middle (Confused)
Somehow we always get stuck in the middle (What an awful thing for you to say)
Somehow we always get stuck in the middle
