Bottom Line

Lyrics

[Verse 1] You tell me that you love me But do you really give a damn? You say you wanna help me But you don't know the scam Well, do you know the scam? By giving me your money, you robbed me of my soul Victim to your delusion, I've got no room to grow, no I've gotta let you know [Chorus] I need someone who knows where to take me I need someone who knows how to make me I need someone who can set these wheels on fire Set 'em on fire [Verse 2] I'd like to make it easy, but the truth is gonna hurt I know you wanna please me But mister, we don't work Well, you know we don't work, huh I know your good intentions But boy, your faith is blind I can't fall prey to your illusion and sign the bottom line You'd be lucky to get a pen in my hand [Chorus] I need someone who knows where to take me I need someone who knows how to make me I need someone who can set these wheels on fire Set 'em on fire [Bridge] Don't threaten me now with tears of devotion It takes more than that to set things in motion I don't wanna hurt you, I wish you the best But in all honesty, well, you've just flunked the test [Instrumental Break] [Verse 3] I'm not a politician But I'm trying to speak with tact If you really are my friend Do you wanna hold me back? Why do you hold me back? I'm pourin' out my heart now, you've gotta understand It's not a passing moment It's my life that's in your hands Oh, don't you understand? [Chorus] I need someone who knows where to take me I need someone who knows how to make me I need someone who can set these wheels on fire Set 'em on fire I need someone who knows where to take me I need someone who knows how to make me I need someone who can set these wheels on fire Set 'em on fire [Outro] I need someone Oh, I really need somebody Please, gimme someone
