22 years and my life is still, Take a look around you mister I swear you'll have your fill, And I'll tell you a tale about heartache and the loss of faith, I can see you're sorta troubled and from the looks of your face, You ain't got no money you ain't got no place, But I swear you ain't seen heartache, until you've said hi to me, Hey player look around take a look outside, You know I just wasn't made for these times, I won't pretend to understand, I wont be telling no lies, And what you don't understand, is what you criticize. Hey Mr. Good Soul, won't you tell me about your sins? Did you k** the one you love? Did you push her away? Were you waiting to start over again? Hey, he's a good kid, Nah he ain't the flashy kind, I won't pretend to understand, I won't be telling no lies, I ain't ever wanna cross your mind And what I got to feeling was total shame, Tasting the salt on your tongue and understanding her slang, But it humors me to see it, it just don't matter to me, Then I remember what my daddy said to do, At times like this when I was feeling blue, He said, "Don't think twice son, it's gonna be alright.." Hey player look around take a look outside,
You know I just wasn't made for these times, I won't pretend to understand, I wont be telling no lies, And what you don't understand, is what you criticize. Hey Mr. Good Soul, won't you tell me about your sins? Did you k** the one you love? Did you push her away? Were you waiting to start over again? Hey, he's a good kid, Nah he ain't the flashy kind, I won't pretend to understand, I won't be telling no lies I ain't ever wanna cross your mind Hey Mr. Good Soul, won't you tell me about your sins? Did you k** the one you love? Did you push her away? Were you waiting to start over again? Hey, he's a good kid, Nah he ain't the flashy kind, I won't pretend to understand, I won't be telling no lies I ain't ever wanna cross your mind Wishing her heartache keeps her alive, Cause it's just too easy to die, I know what's her haunting her mind, I know what scares her tonight, A lost lover girl now that I see around I don't care if her pulse goes cold, But I want her pain 'till she's old, Don't you look at my face, don't come around this place I hear the low spark high heeled girls, I look good without a shirt.
