Dear Lawyer

[Verse 1]
Dear lawyer, dear lawyer
I've noticed that you don't return my calls anymore
Dear lawyer, dear lawyer
And your assistant Tim has made it clear I'm a bore
Do you remember back when everything was understood?
You and me on conference calls to Hollywood
Laughing at the suits because we could
You whispered, "Take the money"
Yeah, now I would

[Verse 2]
Dear lawyer, dear lawyer
Our meeting was for two and it's a quarter to four
Dear lawyer, dear lawyer
Tim is kinda rude, and that's what you pay for him for
Do you remember when I would play you my new song?
Well, you tapped your fingers, you sometimes sang along
You'd hold all calls from your broker and Hong Kong
Oh, you were my friend back then

[Chorus]
But that was when I paid my bills on time
You were a partner, my partner in crime
You showed me how to write and where to sign
You offered me coffee then
But now there isn't time

[Verse 3]
Dear lawyer, dear lawyer
You wave at me to sit down, I admire the decor
Dear lawyer, dear lawyer
There's something I must say and it can't wait anymore
I don't know why we dragged this out despite the warning signs
The obstacle course and irreversible decline
I need someone whose interests, they intertwine with mine
You haven't got the time for me

[Chorus]
But now you're listening, I'll cut right to the chase
If this is nostalgia on your part, it is misplaced
'Cause I can't stand being your charity case
I'm dispensing with your services
Well, you will be soon be faced
With a new lawyer
