Get up, don't get up 
I beg you to sit tight 
Sweet girl, I'll be a ghost, girl 
Forget it, I am fine 

If anything, a witnessing 
Is all I needed that night 

Until I get what I'm to get 
He'll keep [bad word] to flee 
Until I out his false story 
He'll keep playing the guy who leaves 

Brother, oh, brother 
Solo you did bust out 
All I knew was you didn't invite me 
So begin seeds of self-doubt 

There is nothing as harrowing 
As how I translate facts 

Until I get what I'm to get 
He'll keep [bad word] to flee 
Until I out his false story 
He'll keep playing the guy who leaves 

Baby, oh, partner 
How well you've played this part 
Similar, oh, how familiar 
Reluctant [bad word] you impart 

And how you served necessity 
Repeat 'til she sees light 

Until I get what I'm to get 
He'll keep [bad word] to flee 
Until I out his false story 
I'll keep blaming the guy who leaves
