[Verse 1]
He's got a thing 'bout losing control
Carries it a mile just to see how far he'll go
Brushes up his chops as he tries to fake a smile
A friend indeed but what I need's someone who'll stay a while
Someone to stay a while

[Chorus]
You can bend my ear
We will talk all day
Just make sure I'm around when you've finally got something to say

[Verse 2]
He drops hints but he won't tell you what's really on his mind
But I know if I look, it's easy to find
He's got a way with his anger, the way he lets it show
Like the smoldering smoke when the fire's left the coals
Fire has left the coals

[Pre-Chorus]
You can take me down
You can show me your home
Not the place where you live but the place where you belong

[Chorus]
You can bend my ear
We will talk all day
Just make sure I'm around when you've finally got something to say
[Bridge]
And what are you meaning by "I don't deserve this life?"

[Verse 3]
Well, his door is always open and he's always got the time
To give a little something even though he gets behind
Your trips become his and your lives are intwined
But like the horse with the junkie, it's all in your mind
It's all in your mind

[Pre-Chorus]
You can take me down
You can show me your home
Not the place where you live but the place where you belong

[Chorus]
You can bend my ear
We will talk all day
Just make sure I'm around when you've finally got something to say

[Outro]
Finally got something
Finally got something
Finally got something to say
