You work too hard
So when [bad word] home to me
You are tired and
You don't wanna talk about it
You envy my drive and
How I am motivated

We'll go down to the park
Check out the carnival for a while
And try to forget all about it
I'm out of control
And you don't appreciate it

Believe it, I need it
I feel intoxicated
I love it, I want it
Don't make me leave you for it

You say I have changed
Self-centered and vain
And you don't respect me for it
The world is the same
So I'll play the game
And you've grown to hate me for it

So we're re-arranged
There's no one to blame
But still you resent me for it
I call all the shots
I hold all the cards
And you feel emasculated

Believe it, I need it
I feel intoxicated
I love it, I want it
Don't make me leave you for it

Believe it, I need this
I feel intoxicated
I love it, I want it
Don't make me leave you for it

How do we reconcile this?
