If you want to know the why and the what for

The mechanics and the innermost core

Of the guy who stands in front of you

If you want to know the deep, dark truth

The secret life that I keep from you

Are you listening? Here it comes

Ever get the feeling that you've been had?

Do you ever want to take it all back?

Have you ever been lied to?

Come in and sit down, I got something I need to get

Off of my chest

When it's late and we go to bed

There's a war raging in the head

Of the man who sleeps next to you

When the sun is up, it's still the same

Point your finger and lay the blame

Of the man who's walking out on you

Baby, get off my back
