Late again
When I get home
You be waiting
Still you know
There ain't no use in you complaining 
I know that I can show some respect
Especially when I am wrong
But when I get back
I know you say, "You've been away too long."

Ooh
I wonder why I stay
When everybody's gone
There's always something there
That keeps me hanging on, on

Ooh, la, la, la
Ooh, la, la, la
Ooh, la, la, la
Ooh, la, la, la, ooh
Ooh, la, la, la

Ooh
I wonder why I stay
When everybody's gone away
There's always something there
That keeps me hanging on, on

I know that I
Can show some respect
Especially when I am wrong
Late again
When I get home
You be waiting

Well I don't know why I came here tonight
I got the feeling that something ain't right
I'm so scared in case I fall of my chair
And I'm wondering how I'll get down the stairs

Clowns to the left of me, jokers to the right
Here I am stuck in the middle with you

Yes I am stuck in the middle with you
And I'm wondering what it is I should do
It's so hard to keep this smile from my face
Losing joy, yeah, I'm all over the place

Clowns to the left of me, jokers to the right
Here I am stuck in the middle with you

Well you started off with nothing
And you're proud that your a self made man
And your filthy uncle calling
Slap you on the back and say, "Please, please."

Tried to make some sense at all
But I can see it makes no sense at all
Is it cool to go to sleep on the floor
You don't think that I can take anymore

Clowns to the left of me, jokers to the right
Here I am stuck in the middle with you

Well you started off with nothing
And you're proud that your a self made man
And your filthy uncle calling
Slap you on the back and say, "Please, please."

Clowns to the left of me, jokers to the right
Here I am stuck in the middle with you

Yes I'm stuck in the middle with you
Stuck in the middle of you
Here I am stuck in the middle with you

And when I take
A look around me
I wonder how the sun's so sure
He knows the way

And why he doesn't stray
And if he spends the day
Looking for another meaning 
Still don't know
What I really believe in, ah ha
Will someone please
Put on the light
Make me feel all right
I've searched my head all night
Looking for another meaning

I've tried so hard to find
What I had on my mind
When I had no axe to grind
And everything was all right
All right, all right

And it looks like everyday
Gets a little bit harder
For me, me, me, me

La, la, la, la
La, la, la, la
La, la, la, la, la, la, la

All right, all right

Woke up this morning
I got out of bed
Too late to go to work
Walked my dog instead 
I don't try too hard
But I get by

You don't have to tell me
Got a lot to learn
Think I gonna last
At your own back and term

I don't try too hard
But I get by

Yes, yes, yes

You sit there with your fancy cigar
And you think I got it made
I don't want no fast car
Oh, oh, oh

I'm never ready, don't have to wait
Everybody know I'm bound a get there late

I don't try too hard
But I get by

Hey, lord

You sit there with your fancy cigar
And you think I got it made
I don't want no fast car
Oh, oh, oh

I'm never ready, don't have to wait
Everybody know I'm bound a get there late

I don't try too hard 
But I get by

I don't try too hard

Later, later

It looked so good from the outside
I couldn't want to join the crowd
It all looked different on the inside
It must have been my imigration
Cos that's for sure that where I wanted to

I thought I'd get out of the city
I took a trip down to the sea
I didn't stay too long
Because there was nothing there but sky and ocean
So it must have been my imagination
Calling out that there was where I wanted to be

Looking for something that might offer meaning
Looking for something that might make me feel alright
Alright, yeah
Looking around for the right situation
Where I could believe what's happening
Right in from of my eyes baby

I think I'll stay in one position
And just leave well enough alone
I'm never satisfied to love in disillusion
Oh yeah, it must be my imagination
Promising there's a batter place to be

Looking for something that might offer meaning
Looking for something that might make me feel alright
Alright, yeah
Looking around for the right situation
Where I could believe what's happening
Right in from of my eyes baby

Looking for something
Looking for one thing
Trying to find anything
To make you feel

Gotta keep moving
Don't let it keep you down
Now you've got nothing to lose

You've been taling it so hard
Taking it on the head
Don't you know that's as good as being dead

Gotta keep moving
Don't let it get you down
Now you've got nothing to lose

And everyone around you
Tells you you're doing fine
They're gonna drive you crazy

So you're gonna close your eyes
Swallow all those lies
Don't believe what you've been told

Cos you'll wake up one day
Knowing nothing they say
Can satisfy your soul

You gotta keep moving
Don't let it get you down
Cause now you've got nothing to lose

So you're gonna close your eyes
Swallow all those lies
Don't believe what you've been told

Cos you'll wake up one day
Knowing nothing they say
Can satisfy your soul

Looking for something
Looking for one thing
Trying to find anything
To make you feel
Gotta keep moving
Don't let it keep you down
Now you've got nothing to lose

Gotta keep moving
Don't let it get you down
Now you've got nothing to lose

Each day you try on
A different pant suit
Trying to find out
Who you really are
Now I think I have
A way of knowing
When I'm very close
I'm not too far
I don't know just
When I really found me
Times I wonder why it
Took so long
Only thing I know is
Deep inside me
When I'm there
It makes me feel so strong

Don't you wish I had
A different answer
Trying to find out
Who we really are 
Now I think I have
A way of knowing
When I am very close
I'm not too far

Time to tell the hate
Listen my Jose
Pick up your talk
And get your day's work done
Don't wanna hear you take to anyone
You better get on your way
Listen my Jose
Take of your shirt
You've gotta earn your pay
You're gonna win her after anyway boy
Do ya hear, do ya hear

I know your life is in a mess
You gotta get up
You gotta get up
You can't affort to rest
Can't you see my side
I gotta have a finer vest

Got to do your best

Hey, lord, lord, lord
Hey, lord

Nothing is lost
And nothing's gained
It's the same old situation again
No I can't give or take anymore

Get's so lonely
There's really nothing left to say
Gets so lonely
And everything's so far away

No one is right
And no one's wrong
How can I say right now
Which side I'm on
No I can't give or take anymore

Get's so lonely
There's really nothing left to say
Gets so lonely
And everything's so far away

You put something better inside of me
You put something better inside of me
I could look out the windows
Or stare at the wall
But really it didn't matter
No I just didn't care at all

Could besitting by the water
And counting every stone
Cos nothing means nothing
When you're empty and on your own

You put something better inside of me
You put something better inside of me
I could look out the windows
Or stare at the wall
But really it didn't matter
No I just didn't care at all

Makes me so much stronger
I'm amazed at the change in me

Well I knew what I was doing
I was running away
Busy going nowhere
Just wasting the time of day
Walking down the road
Kicking up the stones

Nothing means nothing
When your empty and on your own

You put something better inside of me
You put something better inside of me
I could look out the windows
Or stare at the wall
But really it didn't matter
No I just didn't care at all

Makes me so much stronger
I'm amazed at the change in me

You put something better inside of me
You put something better inside of me
I could look out the windows
Or stare at the wall
But really it didn't matter
No I just didn't care at all

Makes me so much stronger
I'm amazed at the change in me
