Don`t be there
`Cause I`m on my way
And I`m already gone over
And I`m on my way
And I can`t recall myself
How I went down
Did I get shot
Or shoot myself
I`m down here
And you`re way up there
But that doesn`t hurt badly
But it stings right here
And I won`t pretend there`s
Nothing there
You be around and I`ll be square
Don`t be alarmed if I`m not there
You be around and I`ll be square
If you`re a rose
Then I`m the thorn
That`s in your side
And does it hurt badly
`Cause it burns right here
I`d like to say hello
I`d like to say I care
I`d like to let you know
That nothing here`s the same with me
Nothing here`s the same
Don`t be around
Don`t be there
