[Verse 1]
Your daddy works in porno now that mommy's not around
She used to love her heroin, but now she's underground
So, you stay out late at night and you do your dope for free
Drivin' your friends crazy with your life's insanity

[Chorus]
Well, well, well
You just can't tell
Well, well, well, my Michelle
Go on

[Verse 2]
Sowin' all your wild oats in another's luxury
Yesterday was Tuesday, maybe Thursday you can sleep
But school starts much too early and this motel wasn't free
Go party till your connection calls, baby, I'll return the key

[Chorus]
Well, well, well
You just can't tell
Well, well, well, my Michelle
Well, well, well
You never can tell
Well, well, well, my Michelle
[Bridge]
Everyone needs love
You know that it's true
Someday you'll find someone that'll fall in love with you
And the time it takes
When you're all alone
Someday you'll find someone that you can call your own
Until then ya better!

[Guitar Solo]

[Verse 3]
Now you're clean and so discreet, I won't say a word
But most of all, this song is true, case you haven't heard
So c'mon and stop your whinin', we both know money burns
Honey, don't stop tryin' and you'll get what you deserve

[Chorus]
Well, well, well
You just can't tell
Well, well, well, my Michelle
Well, well, well
You never can tell
Well, well, well, my Michelle, yeah

[Outro]
My, my, my Michelle
My, my, my Michelle
M-m-m-m-m-m-my, my Michelle
My, my, my, my, my, my, my, my Michelle
Michelle
