You are consistent, I am lackaday You are sufficient, I'm in disarray You give me pleasure, I bring you heartache You give me light when all is dark and lonely You're my concession, I am contrary. You are exception, I am more the rule You are discretion, I am more the fool You show me patience, I take advantage An' leave you lost an' on your own an' lonely You are forever, I'll come crashin' down. INSTRUMENTAL You throw me line when I'm clutchin' straws and You lift me up when I am down an' lonely You're my concession, I am contrary. You are consistent, I am lackaday You are sufficient, I'm in disarray You give me pleasure, I bring you heartache You give me light when all is dark and lonely You're my concession, I am contrary. You're my concession, I am contrary. You're my concession, I am contrary. You're my concession, I am contrary. (and fade).
