Fourth Time Around Lyrics - Yo La Tengo

When she said, "Don't waste your words, they're just lies" 

I cried she was deaf 

And she worked on my face until breaking my eyes 

And what else you got left 

It was then that I got up to leave 

But she said, "Don't forget 

Everybody must give something back 

For something they get" 

I stood there and hummed, I tapped on her drum 

I asked her how come 

And she buttoned her boot and straightened her suit 

Then she said, "Don't get cute" 

So, I forced my hands in my pockets 

And felt with my thumbs 

And gallantly handed her 

My very last piece of gum

She threw me outside, I stood in the dirt 

Where everyone walked 

And after finding that I forgotten my shirt 

I went back and knocked 

I waited in the hallway, she went to get it 

And I tried to make sense 

Out of that picture of you in your wheelchair 

That leaned up against 

Her Jamaican rum and when she did come 

I asked her for some 

She said, "No, dear", I said, "Your words aren't clear 

You'd better spit out your gum" 

She screamed till her face got so red 

Then she fell on the floor 

And I covered her up and then 

Thought I'd go look through her drawer 

Photos 

And when I was through I filled up my shoe 

And brought it to you 

And you, you took me in, you loved me then 

You never wasted time 

And I, I never took much 

I never asked for your crutch 

Now, don't ask for mine
