[00:07.60]You're a grown man of thirty-five (thirty-five)
[00:12.10]Who ain't concerned with time and still wastes mine
[00:16.30]Soon as you put me in the dinghy
[00:19.00]Out the blue I'm too clingy
[00:20.50]Wah... you took me for the ride all along
[00:26.30]I tried to take it all in my stride
[00:28.90]Ergo my face of chipped pride
[00:31.00]A single dove is hard to find
[00:33.60]And this ain't the sea side
[00:35.30]Now I'm a bird in the city
[00:37.40]And, if you think I'm so pretty
[00:39.20]Why, why do I spend my nights alone?
[00:43.40]And, I'm singin'

[01:15.30]I ain't tryin' to have a fight tonight (uh-uh, uh-uh)
[01:19.30]Gorillas holla from the building side (oo, ah, ah, ah, ah)
[01:24.00]And, I ain't even tryin' to hear it
[01:26.50]Now their callin' me a ***** (gasp) ah
[01:28.55]Damned if I do or when I don't (when I don't)

[02:01.75]I don't care if its a Hummer or Rolex (dada)
[02:06.35]White front or all over (dadadadada)
