Lyrics

[Verse 1] How could things be so easy some days And so hard in times when I could use Some help coming by my way I just don't know why you won't take me for myself [Verse 2] You say that I should be somebody Don't you think that I'd be funny In a suit and tie, ol' mister nine-to-five I just don't know why you won't take me for myself [Bridge] I've been rackin' my brain Trying to find a way to make ends meet I've been making two bridges Write you songs that you can sing There ain't anybody else that I could be [Verse 3] Say, how long will it be now How long will it be now How long will it be now How long will it take to make him see my side I ain't no nine to five I just don't know why you won't take me for myself [Verse 4] If you could only own a mountain made of solid gold What difference would it make You'd just have more to break And I don't know why you won't take me for myself I just don't know why you won't take me for myself I just don't know why you won't take me for myself I just don't know why you won't take me for myself
