BOB DYLAN - 4th Time Around lyrics
rate meWhen 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<br>And brought it to you.<br>And you, you took me in,<br>You loved me then<br>You didn't waste time.<br>And i, I never took much,<br>I never asked for your crutch.<br>Now don't ask for mine.
