[Verse 1]
Standing back before the angels get to me
Well, it seems such a sorry waste of time
Holding back on those who want the best for me
Well, I guess that I can't be blamed for trying

[Pre-Chorus]
It's really very funny how it wears me down
I'm waiting for that something

[Chorus]
Hey, you
Well, I'm sorry, but it's time to let you know
Hey, you
Well, it sounds a bit like preaching
I'd bend over backwards to let you know

[Verse 2]
Rolling back around the numbers on the wall
Well, it's sad 'cause I don't have much to show
Standing back before the angels get to me
Well, it seems the better way to go

[Pre-Chorus]
It's really very funny how it wears me down
I'm waiting for that something
[Chorus]
Hey, you
Well, I'm sorry, but it's time to let you know
Hey, you
Well, it sounds a bit like preaching
I'd bend over backwards to let you know

[Guitar Solo]

[Chorus]
Hey, you
Well, I'm sorry, but it's time to let you know
Hey, you
Well, it sounds a bit like preaching
Hey, you
Well, I'm sorry, but it's time to let you know
Hey, you
Well, it sounds a bit like laughing
I'd bend over backwards to let you know
