The Right Place

Plead with me and beg me not to stay
 So you can still get stoned every day
 Ask of me the one thing I'll negate
 So I'll look like a jerk and you'll be safe
 Oh, I once said goodnight and meant every single syllable
 But I didn't mean to have one every day, by the way
 Even though your heart's in the right place
 You'll find a way to lose and let it break
 And there is only so much I can take
 Until I start to feel like I'm betrayed
 Oh, I once said good luck & really hoped that it'd work out
 And felt certain that this time you'd get it right
 But I've since been dismayed by your careless mistakes
 And I'm sick and tired of hoping that you might
 Yeah...
 Plead with me and beg me not to stay
 You knew it'd never work out anyway
 You've got an eye for sore sight
 And a knack for college tries
 But you're soon to lack the thing that gets you by.
 Yeah...
