But Seriously Folks

The rising price of free advice

Is looking back and thinking twice

I didn't ask to make this sacrifice

It's an egregiousment to me

I don't deserve this botheration

Do I know, I don't know why

You had to tell me everything that you think

I only hung around to finish my drink

And you know for sure I never hang around here hoping

That you'll come over and criticize me

Oh, no, baby

You know I don't, so please

Take it easy on me

I'm trying to get along with you

And you can see I bruise easily

Unafraid to say what I'm afraid of

That's as brave as I can be

Please

Some guys are funny 'cause they're trying to be

Others cause they take themselves too seriously

I am afraid that you may have mistaken me

For someone afraid of how they'll be taken

And even more afraid that you are not mistaken

Take it easy on me, baby

Don't be so hard

I came down here to be taken away from how things are

Not to walk into you waiting like a rake in the yard

To let me know I disappoint you

Oh, no, baby

I'm beggin' you to please

Take it easy on me

I'm trying to get along with you

And you can see I bruise easily

Unafraid to say what I'm afraid of

That's as brave as I can be

Please
