Three Minutes
Why'd you bring this whole thing down on my head,
it isn't a good time, you know,
why can't someone else maybe do it instead,
or maybe I'll just go...
everybody knows that a man can take,
only so much before he needs a break to make,
a little sense of it all, a little sense of it all...
won't you slow down now, you're going too fast,
what you just told me knocked me flat on my ass,
my head is gonna burst if you don't give me three minutes first!
I don't know how all this is gonna work out,
throw me a bone, man,
I need a stroke of genius, a second opinion,
or just a perfect escape plan...
everybody knows that a man can take,
only so much before he needs a break to make,
a little sense of it all, a little sense of it all...
won't you slow down now, you're going too fast,
what you just told me knocked me flat on my ass,
my head is gonna burst if you don't give me three minutes first!
Yeah, I see your mouth movin', but I don't hear you,
what are you sayin' to me?
go ahead and just leave me out in the cold,
or give me the third degree...
everybody knows that a man can take,
only so much before he needs a break to make,
a little sense of it all, a little sense of it all...
won't you slow down now, you're going too fast,
what you just told me knocked me flat on my ass,
my head is gonna burst if you don't give me three minutes first!
