| I met a friend of a friend out in town
|
| She grabbed my arm and said «Girl, have you heard!»
|
| Told me you’ve fallen back in, down and out
|
| She’d seen you high on your knees in the dirt
|
| «I don’t know what he is running from,» she said
|
| «He's so good-looking, it must be just boredom
|
| It was awkward to meet him, I didn’t know what to say
|
| Well, it’s none of our business anyway»
|
| She said «It's none of our business anyway»
|
| Well, if you ask me what I’m gonna do
|
| If I ever see this shadow of you
|
| I’ll tell you to stop
|
| I’ll tell you to sort yourself out
|
| And I want you to know if you ever come around
|
| And if you ever wanna go somewhere else than down
|
| I’ll help you to stop
|
| I’ll help you to sort yourself out
|
| I’ll make it my business
|
| I caught a girl on the phone at the top of her lungs
|
| God knows how many tequilas she’d had
|
| «I don’t think I can go home, he hates me when I’m drunk
|
| He says some terrible things when he’s mad»
|
| «I don’t know what I am waiting for,» she said
|
| «His anger goes and it comes like a cold sore
|
| I’ve been trying to save him, that’s what he hates me for
|
| Well, it’s none of your business anyway»
|
| She said «It's not your problem anyway»
|
| Well, if you ask me what I’m gonna say
|
| If I ever see him stand in your way
|
| I’ll tell him to stop
|
| I’ll tell him to sort himself out
|
| And I want you to know if you wanna come around
|
| And if you need somewhere to go that doesn’t hold you down
|
| I’ll help it to stop
|
| I’ll help you to sort yourself out
|
| I’ll make it my business
|
| Do you remember the first time you said «This once — and never again!»
|
| You’ve said it over and over and over again since then
|
| Tell me, what’s happened since then?
|
| Well, if you ask me what I’m gonna do
|
| If I ever see this shadow of you
|
| I’ll tell you to stop
|
| I’ll tell you to sort yourself out
|
| And I want you to know if you ever come around
|
| And if you ever wanna go somewhere else than down
|
| I’ll help you to stop
|
| I’ll help you to breath
|
| I’ll help you to rest
|
| I’ll help you to see
|
| I’ll help you to know
|
| I’ll help you to sort yourself out
|
| I’ll make it my business |
