The Walkmen Album

What's in it for me x2
I came here for a good time and you're telling me to leave
but you don't have to say it again, I heard you the first time

We're counting on you x2
well I like to remember it like that
When we had one in the hand, that was one in the hand
but you never come over any more

So you don't have to say it again, I heard you the first time

You've got a nerve to be asking a favor
You've got a nerve to be calling my number
I know we've been through this before

Can't you hear me
I'm calling out your name
Can't you see me
I'm pounding on your door

You've got a nerve to be asking a favor
You've got a nerve to be calling my number

Can't you hear me
I'm beating on your wall
Can't you see me
I'm pounding on your door
Can't you hear me
While I'm calling out your name

When I used to go out I would know everyone that I saw
Now I go out alone if I go out at all
Now I go out alone if I go out at all
When I used to go out I'd know everyone I saw
Now I go out alone if I go out at all

You've got a nerve to be asking a favor
You've got a nerve to be calling my number
I'm sure we've been through this before

Can't you hear me
I'm beating on your wall
Can't you see me
I'm pounding on your door

When I was told
You lied to me
I hung my head in shame.
When I was told
You were cheating me
I bit my lip in pain.

So back up,
Back away.
And you better know now,
Just for a little while,
So it one more time,
Just for a little while.

Oh, back up,
Back far away.
And you better know
Just for a little while,
Do it one more time,
Just for a little while

Somebody's waiting for me at home
Somebody's waiting for me at home
I should've known
I should've known

And somebody's got a car outside
Somebody's got a car outside
Let's take a ride
Let's take a ride

Somebody's waiting for me at home
Somebody's waiting for me at home
I should have known
I should have known
Here we go

And somebody's got a car outside
Somebody's got a car outside
Let's take a ride

I know that it's late but I've nowhere to go
I should've chose
I should've chose

Cause you can run and have your fun
But don't come around when she get's home

Oh baby, don't go home

There's a door in my heart
And it's open tonight
Come on in I got you tonight
Come on in I got you tonght
I should've told
I should've told

Cause you can run and have your fun
But don't come around when she gets home

Here we are, come see us driving in your car.
In the morning's dim, break it off with him.
You said something there. Something throws me from my chair.
I refuse to talk this hour, 'cause I don't need this now.
You're a sure thing, but I know
I don't need this now.

You're an old friend. We both know
I could take you out.
And last night I did something that I don't wanna hear.
Bring your sister out, we'll be leaving now.
And I punched upset, and it's buzzing in my ear.
Bring your sister out, we'll be leaving now.

You're a sure thing but I know
You can count me out.
You're an old friend. We both know
I could take you out.

I see it now. I see it slow, I see it now. I see it now.

Here we are, come see us filing in my car and take a spin
Break it off with him.
He says something there. Something throws me from my chair.
Bring your sister out, we'll be leaving now.

You're a sure thing but I know
You can count me out.
You're an old friend. We both know
I could take you out

I hear that you got yourself a house
and all your friends you finally figured out
but you go out in the night til you got no place to go
I see you on the corner where you're trying to use the phone
and everyone will say you missed your chance
and everyone will say you've lost youre edge
but it's just something that you've heard about a thousand time before
and every time you're falling then you'll see me on the floor
and someday when you turn around
you'll take a wife, and start a life
it won't be long

I hear that you got yourself a job
and all your friends you finally nailed down
but you go out in the night till you got no place to go
something you aint doing right is haunting you at home
now we've been hanging round for quite a while
so let's get out of here and take a drive
on the parkway tonight
you can hear the engines roar
the flashing lights will nab you when you're driving your way home
and someday when you turn around you'll see the door is closing

Maybe it's not good and it's not bad
and maybe that's a problem that we have
cuz everybody knows
I've seen you with your new boyfriend it's funny how you look at him I
know we won't be seeing him again
cuz everybody knows, that's the way it goes
your monday morning train takes you uptown
your friday evening bus brings you back down
so here's what they're saying
I'm sincerely yours.

I'll be back tomorrow that is if you're here and you
promise to keep it
between you and me
it's all just a dream man it's all just a dream
I've been up half the night so get off it or leave
we're singing a song we don't care if we're wrong, have a drink on each
other, and call it a day
you're calling me back, when the money is gone, that's all and for us
that's as good as it got
it's 4 in the morning the bars are unloading,
I go to the window and put down the shade
you're calling me back, yeah but that was no good,
I got tired of it
day after day after day
so hang on Siobhan, you're a mystery to me but you don't hear me asking around
so hang on, we're coming on soon, it's so hard to get through to you
hang on, we're coming on soon,
we're waiting to hear it from you
hang on. hang on!

The music's loud, in your room, turn it down
there's a neighbor who can't take it any more
I'll take your hand, in another one night stand
there's a lot for us to figure out

so if this is how it ends, well lock the door behind you then and let
me down easy

The music's loud in your room turn it down, but the more we talk, the
less we understand

I'm waiting on a subway line
I'm waiting for a train to arrive
I'm thinking of a dream I had
Maybe you're right

we're gonna have a good time tonight
cuz when you're coming around you'll be sorry for the plans we made
when you're coming around, you'll be sorry for the things you said so don't lead me on

And when you're coming around you'll be sorry for the things you said
because no one speaks to me that way, and me, I'll be hanging from the ceiling fan

Come on, come on let's have a song
the morning sun is soon to come
we don't have time to linger on

there comes a time, there comes a
time to make it right when I was wrong
and someday girl we'll get along.

Goodbye to all your plans
you can listen to me now
your head is bent out of shape
but your feet are on the ground
but all in all, the ceiling's coming down

I take my time to face the day
it's good to hear you talk this way
so we'll keep this up as friend
this time, nothing's wrong
I'll stand up as I'll shake your hand,
we'll be alright


That man he is a fraud, but nobody gives a damn
and then all and all, they'll all be weighing in

can I sleep on your floor tonight
give me some time to set this right
where's your head, there's nothing for you here, nothing's wrong
take a look around and you'll see it clear

Come on come on let's get things done, the morning sun has come and
gone, get up, get out and move along
there comes a time, there comes a time, to make it right when I was
wrong and someday girl we'll get along
