Song by Yo La Tengo<br /><br>

When she said, <br>

"Don't waste your words, they're just lies," <br>

I cried she was deaf. <br>

And she worked on my face until breaking my eyes, <br>

Then said, "What else you got left?" <br>

It was then that I got up to leave <br>

But she said, "Don't forget, <br>

Everybody must give something back <br>

For something they get." <br>

<br>

I stood there and hummed, <br>

I tapped on her drum and asked her how come. <br>

And she buttoned her boot, <br>

And straightened her suit, <br>

Then she said, "Don't get cute." <br>

So I forced my hands in my pockets <br>

And felt with my thumbs, <br>

And gallantly handed her <br>

My very last piece of gum. <br>

<br>

She threw me outside, <br>

I stood in the dirt where ev'ryone walked. <br>

And after finding I'd <br>

Forgotten my shirt, <br>

I went back and knocked. <br>

I waited in the hallway, she went to get it, <br>

And I tried to make sense <br>

Out of that picture of you in your wheelchair <br>

That leaned up against . . . <br>

<br>

Her Jamaican rum <br>

And when she did come, I asked her for some. <br>

She said, "No, dear." <br>

I said, "Your words aren't clear, <br>

You'd better spit out your gum." <br>

She screamed till her face got so red, <br>

Then she fell on the floor, <br>

And I covered her up and then <br>

Thought I'd go look through her drawer. <br>

<br>

And when I was through, <br>

I filled up my shoe, and brought it to you. <br>

And you, you took me in, <br>

You loved me then, <br>

You never wasted time. <br>

And I, I never took much, <br>

I never asked for your crutch, <br>

Now don't ask for mine.<br>

<br>
