Turn Off the Inside Out

R Becker

Don't tell me I don't know what I'm talking about
I know what I'm talking about

What are you talking about?

You always put me
Into a state of mind

I'm in a state of mind

You do this all the time

Turn off the inside out
That's how you do me in

That's what you do to me
You and your skinny skin

Turn off the inside out

You say it's in my head

I think your head
Should stay all day in bed.

First it was your thing for foreign
Cars

That it's mine then yours

This went on for hours

Then as luck would have
You finally confessed

It's about time you did

Girl, you are a mess

Turn off the inside out

It's about time you got it right

I said I'd buy you lunch
I've lost my appetite

Turn off the inside out

You'll have to wait in line

It's about time you paid your way

I'll pay for you next time.

Turn off the inside out

Look what you made me do

I'm too good for you
You are my living proof

Turn off the inside out

Judge not lest ye be judged

I can't tell the difference
Between you and waste disposal sludge

Turn off the inside out

It's just like daddy always said

You'd never amount to much

First time you did what he said

Turn off the inside out

I can't help being all that

I've been all that since the Earth was flat

When the Earth

Turned off the inside out

And the inside out
Was good

And there was evening
And there was morning

And you finally did the dishes
