STILL A BUM

Others think we've made it,
Pains my heart so when they say it.
It's been Hell together,
I've been stuck with you forever.
I count, the days,
Since I threw my life away.
I've spent an eternity,
Dealing with this insanity.


CHORUS

YOU'RE THE BUM I MARRIED,
YOU'RE THE CROSS I'VE CARRIED.
YOU'RE THE ONE THAT I RUN FROM.
I DON'T WANT TO CLING TO,
ANY PART OF YOU
BECAUSE BABY, YOU'RE A BUM.


Talk about a bad choice,
Not much call for me to rejoice.
I really took the bad road,
Now I buckle from the load.
I've paid, the tolls,
From hitting all your giant potholes.
What have you done for me,
Except drive me to therapy?


CHORUS

YOU'RE THE BUM I MARRIED,
YOU'RE THE CROSS I'VE CARRIED.
YOU'RE THE ONE THAT I RUN FROM.
I DON'T WANT TO CLING TO,
ANY PART OF YOU
BECAUSE BABY, YOU'RE A BUM.
