Overheard a girlfriend talking about you Didn't have a kind word to say Said she was doin' fine without you Said that you'd be sorry one day Well, I've got my reasons for thinkin' different Some kind of change will come over you When I get to be believin' in some strange existence I see some kind of good in what you can do But don't let her shortchange you Let her know what you've been through Keep your head no matter what you do And don't get lonely, well so lonely and blue She'll keep hangin' around With your head 100 miles above the ground Tell me how long are you gonna stick around When every other day you stay just cuts you down And the things she said have been eatin' at your insides For so long You can't tell me you don't feel anything There've been times I've watched you try and drink your tears away At the bottom of every glass, your world still looks the same She'll keep hangin' around With your head 100 miles above the ground Now you tell me, how long are you gonna stick around When every other day you stay just cuts you down When every other day you stay, my friend Just cuts you down
