Answer me Why won't you answer me I can't recall the day that I last heard from you Well you don't get a town like this for nothing So here's what you've got to do You work your way to the top of the world Then you break your life in two Well what's the use in complaining When you've got what you don't need Anyone would think you were hard done to What do you want me to believe What the hell is happening I can't think of everything I don't know what day it is Or who I'm talking to But I know that I'm ok 'Cause you're here with me today I haven't got a single problem Now that I'm with you So what's the use in complaining When you've got everything you need Anyone would think you were hard done to What do you want me to believe
