midnight come 'round

Been waitn‘, not too hasty now.
Only so much can be done per day.
Even so’s far apart as these.
Must keep up appearances.
Show my hand now and you might just get a bead.

Once...
alright I lie, twice
(don’t believe a word, I do it all the time)
I’ve spoke a thought or so to change another about the head and shoulders.
Don’t mean nothing by me but that they was lookin’ for sumn’ and I’s said it the right way. Don’t mean nuthn’, nuthn’ at all.
Talkn’ all fancy don’ mean a damned thing in the end,
the big end.
But one don’ wanna look the fool.
Right?
