The harder I struggle,
The tighter you grip,
But don't need to tell you,
That's the way that I want it,
I'm easy to follow,
You're easy to spot,
I bet I can shake you off,
But I gotta want it

What good are the times
that I catch you alone?
It took an eternity and
I forgot what I wanted,
What good are the times
that I take you to task?
You get me distracted
and I forget that I'm mad

I'm up on the counter,
You're down on the floor,
The kitchen is dirty,
Pots and pans are flying,
No food in the cupboard,
a knock on the door,
Let's give it a rest now,
Buy a beer at the corner store

I'm going to bed now dear
but you still want more,
And every single word you say
I've heard before,
Oh, you're an angel
when you're in recline,
And like an anxious fist
my lullabye works fine

Lullabye and good night,
Ain't that a great song?
You're an angel in recline,
Please go to bed dear,
Please go to bed dear, please
