[Verse 1]
I'm just of real sad folk
And '85 was our best year
And she says it gets much worse before
It gets any better

[Chorus]
So I take it with a grain of salt
For the other means
I wonder why it doesn't keep her up at night (Up at night)
Like it does me

[Verse 2]
We talk the way you do
And I have a sweet or two for
My only plus you say
They're getting bigger everyday

[Chorus]
So I take it with a grain of salt
For the other means
I wonder why it doesn't keep him up at night (Up at night)
Like it does me

[Bridge]
I'll be in your car
I locked the keys in your car
I'll be in your car
For now
[Verse 3]
You wanna fool around? I ask
I get a sour reply
From the other wheel that always
Rises to the occasion

[Chorus]
So I take it with a grain of salt
For the other means
I wonder why it doesn't keep you up at night (Up at night)

[Bridge]
I'll be in your car
I locked the keys in your car
I'll be in your car
For now

[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 4]
I've been a mess for some time
Now I get what I deserve
For someone who leaves behind a life
I can't do better

[Chorus]
So I take it with a grain of salt
For the other means
I wonder why it doesn't keep you up at night
(Up at night, up at night, up at night)
Like it does me
