I realize that I've been 
In your eyes some kind of fool 
What I do, what I did 
Stupid fish I drank the pool 

I've been doing some dying 
Now I'm doing some trying
So, say you don't mind
You don't mind 
And let me off this time 

We've been into a scene
Where my dreams were getting bad 
And who rides with the tide 
And who's glad with what he has 

I've been doing some whining
Now I'm doing some finding
So say |you don't mind
You don't mind 
And let me off this time 

To you I've lied 
Somethin' inside 
Say you don't mind...
 [bad word] section)

Hey

Say you don't mind
You don't mind 
And let me off this time 
A-this time, a-this time 
And let me off this time 

To you I've lied
Somethin' inside 
Say you don't mind...

When it gets you so bad 
That a doormat sees better times (that's bad)
It's a sign to get back 
And think up some better lines

I've been doing some growing
I've been scared of you going
Just say you don't mind
You don't mind 
And let me off this time

And let me off this ... time!
