Lyrics

Like A Professional

You really work the room like a blue fashion

You know everyone, I'm so uncomfortable

What became of everyone I used to know?

Wrote that song for you and I meant every word

At the time, you'd kill a man who lost your cigarettes

So then I had the only tangible asset

Go on, admit, you're just over it

You temper, temper like a baby animal

In a cage so long working miracles

I know you have signs to what you're looking for

I hope that works for you, I know it leads to ways to

And to fail and trust me

Ahen you fall you will fall hard, oh, it sails

And you lose sight of who you really are

I must admit, I'm just over it
