Akrasia

when i said i'd follow you down
it's not the short of thing that you should take for granted
and when you said you needed your space
you didn't have to reap all the seeds we've planted
but that's when you said you'd need
more that you could get with me


now every time i open my eyes
you're doing all the things that you always hated
like a grudge you carry around
what'd i ever do to leave you so damn jaded
if you're too good to be hanging around
i'll close your book and i'll put it down
but that don't matter anyhow
mama's girl's a rebel now


when you said you needed some time
i never tried to make it shorter
and when you said you needed some change
i was always there with a dime and quarter


and that's when you said you'd need
more that you could get from me


now every time i open my eyes
you're doing all the things that you always hated
like a grudge you carry around
what'd i ever do to leave you so damn jaded
if you're too good to be hanging around
i'll close your book and i'll put it down
but that don't matter anyhow
mama's girl's a rebel


now she don't need anybody else
at least not me
to love and comfort her
share with her my life's philosophy
and i know that she is wrong
and now she's down where she belongs
and I'll just wait and see
bide my time 'till she comes back to me


(solo)


but that's when you said you'd need
more that you could take from me


now every time i open my eyes
you're doing all the things that you always hated
like a grudge you carry around
what'd i ever do to leave you so damn jaded
if you're too good to be hanging around
i'll close your book and i'll put it down
but that don't matter anyhow
mama's girl's a rebel now
mama's girl's a rebel now
mama's girl's a rebel now
mama's girl's a rebel now
