Song by Bob Dylan<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>
