by Shawn Colvin & John Leventhal Well I don't tell jokes And I don't take notes You been sayin there ain't much hope You got nothin on me I got friends uptown And they don't talk down They been keepin me safe and sound We got somethin to be So in case you hadn't noticed I'm alright Not like I was before Things used to be so hopeless But not tonight Tonight I'm walkin out that door I'm not gonna cry I'm wavin goodbye And I know this time You got nothin on me Well it ain't that tough Just more of the usual stuff One heartache is more than enough There ain't nothin to see I got friends uptown And they still come 'round They been keepin me safe and sound We got somethin to be So don't you try to save me With your advice Or turn me into somebody else Cuz I'm not crazy and you're not nice Baby keep it to yourself I'm not gonna cry And I'm wavin goodbye And I know this time You got nothin on me
