lyrics

When someone says one thing and does another
It almost seems there's nothing you can do
Except try and try to make it better
And wonder why you do the things that you do

So I try and I try to make it better
By always being there and staying true
But a person's heart and soul is one that's tender
And you know it's always your mind that'll choose

Well I know it's a shame and I tried to play the game
When I didn't know what else to do
And when push comes to shove I always rise above
But this time I'm battered and bruised

What a shame, what a shame you can't remember
That it's your intentions and not your inventions that define you
Who's to blame, who's to blame when one surrenders
And figures out why, who becomes who

If it's a phone call that you want, I'm your operator
And I'll be your chef if food is your necessity
If it's a letter that you need, I'll be your sender
And you know I'll be the captain of your ship should you sail out to sea

Well I know it's a shame and I tried to play the game
When I didn't know what else to do
And when push comes to shove I always rise above
But this time I'm battered and bruised

Well I know it's a shame and I tried to play the game
When I didn't know what else to do
And when push comes to shove I always rise above
But this time I'm battered and bruised

(Nick Losito)
