I don't drink, I don't smoke We were out late, and as a joke She dropped a sodium pentothal In my Coke now I'm flushed My mouth's dry, my face wet, Beneath the bare lightbulb in the basement As I move to strike the statement I just lost my self-effacing cool She said "baby do you feel alright?" She chuckled, And I tried to ask her a favor I wanna take the fifth, cause there's some things you just don't wanna know You're gonna wish I did, cause there's some things you just don't wanna know "Baby are my jeans too tight? Where did you really go last night?" How can I avoid this fight if I can't keep my lips shut tight? A hustle, a gamble A handicap that I can't handle She lit up, like Roman candle, That shot straight for my throat well I choked I stalled, I sputtered, She hung on each word I stuttered, Sometimes to protect each other The truth is silver, silence is gold I would love to confess, But I can't control what's been comin’ out Cause me and my jaw ain't speakin’ Me and the claw had a fallin’ out I just can't work in this condition My whole life is a work of fiction I hold myself in contempt Why should you be any different?

Though you may not see Me when you wake up Still wearin your make up from the night before I made sure you got home safely Don't worry baby that's what I'm here for Though I may not do Everything you ask me at exactly the moment that you ask me to Remember I love you And as long as you want me, I'll be there when you need There's nothin I won't do Whenever you call me I'll come runnin Whenever you call me I'll be there Just gimme a heartbeat And I'll catch you when you fall When you call Whenever you call I play it close to the vest I know I won't deceive you, believe its just a test to see how far we go And if you want to, I wanna be close to you You already know I will protect my own Though I may not do Everything you ask me at exactly the moment that you ask me to Remember I love you And as long as you want me, I'll be there when you need There's nothin I won't do I wanna give you everything you need oh You can just call me anytime Cause you're everything to me oh I'll be a still small voice You can hear if you're listening Because I love you I promise I'll be there when you want me Feel free to call on me
