Based on a true story, this song is full of snarky lyrics over the funktacular drumming of Jim Evans and the gnarly, James-Brown-inspired DD69 rhythm section.
lyrics
I'm wonderin' what you're doin'
I'm askin' what's the deal
You show up after blowin' me off for weeks
I can't believe you're for real
You break up with me one day
The next you wanna ball
I think you might be crazy, baby
Maybe it ain't worth it at all
(hit me!)
I don't wanna be the one stuck in the middle
I don't need to be the one to sort it out
I ain't gonna be the one who gives a little
That ain't what it's about
I got to lose you baby
I got to lose you baby
I got to lose you baby baby
Come on, you got to go
You used to have a temp job (but)
You couldn't hold it down
You call me up to borrow just one more month's rent
You're jerkin' me around
You like to say that you're an actress
That someday you'll be a star
You're actin like you're twenty, honey
It's your best performance by far
