[Intro]
I'm sorry, but the person you've dialed
Has a voice message box that is not in service
I'm s— sorry
[Chorus]
Do, do, do-do
Do-do, do, do, do-do, do
Do, do, do-do
Do-do, do, do, do-do, do
Do, do, do-do
Do-do, do, do, do-do, do, do
[Verse 1]
I used to live in faith
But I have been burned and led astray
I had to turn my head away
Just to get some relief
I know some people say (I know some people say)
That fortune favors the bold (That fortune favors the bold)
Mercy prays for the old
But I don't know what to believe
[Refrain]
Ordinary voices carry every day
Fortunately never let me get my way
[Chorus]
Do, do, do-do
Do-do, do, do, do-do, do
Do, do, do-do
Do-do, do, do, do-do, do
Do, do, do-do
Do-do, do, do, do-do, do, do
[Verse 2]
I know what you did
I saw the way you treated the man
When I needed a hand
You let me twist in the wind
You think I'm talkin' shit (You think I'm talkin' shit)
And getting carried away (And getting carried away)
But I will be dead and buried away
Before I let you back in
[Refrain]
Ordinary voices carry every day
Fortunately never let me get my way
[Bridge]
Turn the table when she saw me
Lost a million origami
Tunnel vision isn't funny
Listen to me, give me money
Holy Thursday, your apartment
You come to me with
Something more important
Broken promise
I'm too tired anyway
[Chorus]
Do, do, do-do
Do-do, do, do, do-do, do
Do, do, do-do
Do-do, do, do, do-do, do
Do, do, do-do
Do-do, do, do, do-do, do, do
