Mess We’re In - Intellectual

[Verse 1]

Your permission I will walk away now

I've seen too much to make me stay

I’m growing tired of the games you play girl

You stayed the same but the rules have changed

We were young and we were foolish

Made mistakes like anyone would

I'm your lap-dog, struck by cupid

Under your spell, I could not see it

You owe money over both sides of town

I see that trouble's coming - it’s tracking you down

You used your beauty like a work of art

But you can't see that it's falling apart

You went too far now there's no turning back

Your facade is crumbling starting to crack

How'd it get to be so serious?

Can't you see... what a mess we're in?

We were young and we were foolish

Now we're older - no excuses

Tried to tell you - you won’t listen

Can I leave with, your permission?

You owe money over both sides of town

I see that trouble’s coming - it's tracking you down

You used your beauty like a work of art

But you can’t see that it's falling apart

You went too far now there's no turning back

Your façade is crumbling starting to crack

How'd it get to be so serious?

Can’t you see... what a mess we're in?

You always thought I would be there for you

But this is crazy baby that's why we're through

How'd it get to be so serious?

Can't you see...?
