Plead with me and beg me not to stay
So you can still get stoned every day
Ask of me the one thing I'll negate
So I'll look like a jerk and you'll be safe

Oh, I once said goodnight and meant every single syllable
But I didn't mean to have one every day, by the way

Even though your heart's in the right place
You'll find a way to lose and let it break
And there is only so much I can take
Until I start to feel like I'm betrayed

Oh, I once said good luck & really hoped that it'd work out
And felt certain that this time you'd get it right
But I've since been dismayed by your careless mistakes
And I'm sick and tired of hoping that you might
Yeah...

Plead with me and beg me not to stay
You knew it'd never work out anyway
You've got an eye for sore sight
And a knack for college tries
But you're soon to lack the thing that gets you by..
Yeah...
