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?

Whenever You Call

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
