But Seriously Folks

The rising price of free advice
Is looking back and thinking twice
I didn't ask to make this sacrifice
It's an egregiousment to me
I don't deserve this botheration
Do I know, I don't know why
You had to tell me everything that you think
I only hung around to finish my drink
And you know for sure I never hang around here hoping
That you'll come over and criticize me
Oh, no, baby
You know I don't, so please

Take it easy on me
I'm trying to get along with you
And you can see I bruise easily
Unafraid to say what I'm afraid of
That's as brave as I can be
Please

Some guys are funny 'cause they're trying to be
Others cause they take themselves too seriously
I am afraid that you may have mistaken me
For someone afraid of how they'll be taken
And even more afraid that you are not mistaken
Take it easy on me, baby
Don't be so hard
I came down here to be taken away from how things are
Not to walk into you waiting like a rake in the yard
To let me know I disappoint you
Oh, no, baby
I'm beggin' you to please

Take it easy on me
I'm trying to get along with you
And you can see I bruise easily
Unafraid to say what I'm afraid of
That's as brave as I can be
Please
