Don′t be there
′Cause I′m on my way

And I′m already gone over
And I′m on my way

And I can′t recall myself
How I went down
Did I get shot
Or shoot myself

I′m down here
And you′re way up there

But that doesn′t hurt badly
But it stings right here

And I won′t pretend there′s
Nothing there
You be around and I′ll be square
Don′t be alarmed if I′m not there
You be around and I′ll be square

If you′re a rose
Then I′m the thorn
That′s in your side

And does it hurt badly
′Cause it burns right here

I′d like to say hello
I′d like to say I care
I′d like to let you know
That nothing here′s the same with me
Nothing here′s the same

Don′t be around
Don′t be there
