Song Lyrics

Wrap your fingers 'round this now
Well, I've heard things about you
Walking the halls, we know so well
And no way that could be true

You got a girl, said she's a model
Which sounds like you've got big bravado

I'd like it if they'd only tell it like it was
I'd like it if they'd only tell it like it was
I wouldn't mind, but my mind's making such a fuss
Am I the only one inside here?

Got a job and you make 800 grand
By selling used Isuzus
Well, if the guy on the stage is your best friend
Well, am I backstage with you?

You got a girl, said she's a model
Which sounds like you've got big bravado

I'd like it if they'd only tell it like it was
I'd like it if they'd only tell it like it was
I wouldn't mind, but my mind's making such a fuss
Am I the only one inside here?

And it's all state of mind
Yeah, it's all state of mind
And we can make these walls come down
And leave it alone, leave it alone

Wrap your fingers 'round this now
Well, I've heard things about you
Walking the halls, we know so well
And no way that could be true

You got a girl, said she's a model
Which sounds like you've got big bravado

I'd like it if they'd only tell it like it was
I'd like it if they'd only tell it like it was
I'd like it if they'd only tell it like it was
