My friends say I’ve got a good good heart,
But that makes it too easy to tear apart,
My friends say I’ve got a beautiful mind,
But that don’t count for much if the world’s blind.
Because I donated a lung to an asthmatic robot,
Gave all of my change to a bum who just could not,
He went straight to the bar and he blew it,
Gave my love to a girl who just threw it away.
So don’t go try and change me now, by walking away,
I’ll make it through alive somehow, someday,
And though you never finish things, except what’s in your cup,
I need the pain your leaving brings, so baby, don’t let up.
My friends say I’ve got bad bad luck,
And being nice will only get me stuck,
In some game where I don’t get my due,
Oh, I don’t want fame, no, I just wanted you.
Because I donated a lung to an asthmatic robot,
Gave all of my change to a bum who just could not,
He went straight to the bar and he blew it,
Gave my love to a girl--
D-D-D-Don’t go try and change me now, by walking away,
I’ll make it through alive somehow, someday,
And though you never finish things, except what’s in your cup,
I need the pain your leaving brings, so baby, don’t let up.
Don’t let up.
Don’t let up.
Don’t let up.
