Even when it's not about you, about you All of a sudden it's about you, girl, oh Even when it's not about you, about you All of a sudden it's about you, girl, oh Even when it's not about you, about you All of a sudden it's about you, girl, oh Even when it's not about you, about you All of a sudden it's about you, About you, about you, about you, about you This is that gather round it And wonder where I found it This is that wake up, make your agent, have your tour rerouted This is that drama, karma, pain and ain't no way around it Cause somehow still it's hard to know what I can say about it I buckled up, told myself to suck it up I was scared to death to get up there and spill my guts I was saying pull your stupid self together buttercup Get it cracking back and black until you have them thunderstruck, but Even when it's not about you, about you All of a sudden it's about you, girl, oh Even when it's not about you, about you All of a sudden it's about you, about you No, there's not a single thing that I can say Not a single solitary, every meeting changes shape Even when there's no connection back to you in any line All of a sudden it's about you and it gets me every time, but What the f*** is left to author anyway When I've basically been writing since the Raiders ran L.A. I'm afraid that maybe I've said everything there is to say Maybe I should make an exit while there are ways to get away Can't find the words to a memory But these are just words to a melody Find something that works, fits the symmetry But only a quick broken remedy And I'd give anything to choose Pick out the words I'll bring home to you How can I make do, put a smile on, change my attitude And even know it's not about you, everything that's all about you, oh All about you Oh, oh, oh Even when it's not about you, about you All of a sudden it's about you now Oh, oh, oh Even when it's not about you, about you All of a sudden it's about you now Oh, oh, oh Even when it's not about you, about you All of a sudden it's about you now Oh, oh, oh Even when it's not about you, about you All of a sudden it's about you now Oh, oh, oh Even when it's not about you, about you All of a sudden it's about you now Oh, oh, oh Even when it's not about you, about you All of a sudden it's about you now Oh, oh, oh Even when it's not about you, about you All of a sudden it's about you now Oh, oh, oh Even when it's not about you, about you All of a sudden it's about you now Oh, oh, oh
