Lyrics

They Tell Me

They tell me what they do I don't know what they're talkin' 'bout They tell me what they do I don't understand what they're talkin' about They're talkin' about it I did not start this conversation I don't intend to keep talkin' about it They tell me about it Maybe if I pray to the Lord above I'll get some sleep But the Lord don't give a shit about me They tell me what they do How can I help it? How can I help it? I sure can't shut them up
