Sheryl Crow - Reach Around Jerk

Wake me up when you are over
'Cause I don't want to hear you say
That you've got worries on your shoulder
Well, I'd love to sail up and go away
I ain't never seen you cryin'
But that don't mean that you can't feel
And maybe deep inside you're dying
That may be the only thing that's ever real

It's a reach-around jerk in a button-down shirt
Talkin' sweet to keep all the little people happy
When the talk is cheap, the shit gets deep
You better face reality, that everybody's had a bad day or two
They don't treat you like the way you think they should
So you lick your bitter wounds, and you turn and blame the government
Establishment, hold your breath so no one sees you when you're down

Wake me up when you are over
Let me know how long it took
And if you ever need my sympathy
Honey, here's how deep you're gonna have to look
And I know when you get older
You'll learn the art of how to please
But right now you're just gettin' colder
And my love is gonna send you to your knees

It's a reach-around jerk in a button-down shirt
Talkin' sweet to keep all the little people happy
When the talk is cheap, the shit gets deep
You better face reality, that everybody's had a bad day or two
They don't treat you like the way you think they should
So you lick your bitter wounds, and you turn and blame the government
Establishment, hold your breath so no one sees you when you're down

And if you need me, I am able
And if you need me, I am here
But when you reach across the table
I'll be leaving all my tears inside my beer
