Well he's not necessarily trying to say that he minds it

But someone plays evil tricks on that kid

Well he's not necessarily trying to say god can't be trusted

But someone plays evil tricks on that kid

And certain situations scream for deviations

But somehow he always gets stuck in the middle

Of this and that and man he should try less

Because every time he's rejected man he loses affection



But don't we all, don't we just got to give a little time

Maybe give a friend a call instead of making him confused

What a terrible thing for you to do

What an awful thing for you to say

What a terrible thing for you to relay



Well I know some people's they got a little less than nothing

But still find some to spare

And other people got more than they could use

But they don't share

And some people got problems man

They got awful complications

Other people got perfect situations

With no provocation



But don't we all, don't we just got to give a little time

Maybe give a friend a call instead of making him confused

What a terrible thing for you to do

What an awful thing for you to say

What a terrible thing for you

Confused

What a terrible thing for you to do

What an awful thing for you to say

What a terrible thing for you to relay



Somehow we always get stuck in the middle (repeated)

(overdubbed with)

Confused, what an awful thing for you to do

Confused, what an awful thing for you to say-ee
