[Verse 1]

You know you're talking to the wrong man, my friend

I was on the fence, wasting time in future tense

And all I came here for was finding love

To help me understand my own

It's undefendable

And now you want to tell me you're devoted

All the while you told me you don't know

And now you want to come and sell me what I already own

And now you're trying to teach me what I already know

[Chorus]

You know you're talking to the wrong man, my friend

When they bleed you out I won't blame you now

And all I came here for was finding love

To help me understand my own

Right, wrong, or legal

[Verse 2]

And all the greatest hands that I would hold in mine

All the times I had to let them go

And now they want to come and sell you what you already own

And now they're trying to teach you what you already know

You know you're talking to the wrong man, my friend

I'll still make amends, gaining time in present tense

And all I came here for was finding love

To help me understand my own

And redefine it, oh

[Break]

So the air I'll breathe in to drown in the sea

I've been beat up and did you know

You said you'd know

I get a little bit chewed up

I wouldn't if I had known

And seeing some part of hopeful

I know and I know you don't, see

I'm being easy falling down the breeze

I know you won't count on me

And the truth never bothers me

I know and I know you don't

You're celebrated for your time away

I know you won't be sleeping

[Chorus]

You know you're talking to the wrong man, my friend

When they bleed you out I won't blame you now

And all I came here for was finding love

To help me understand my own

Right, wrong, or legal
