Drop those flowers--back away slowly

you jumped in, thinking this was holy water

well surprise, surpise

this is not a test

welcome to the party

I've been on my best behaviour, but I think it's time

you saw the other side...cause



CHORUS:

I'm a tough, tough game

that no one can master

I'm a tall, tall tale

that no one believes

I'm a long, dark night

with no morning after

Lucky you

you get the best of me.



Brand new day--honeymoon's over

peace and quiet

puts me in a coma anyway

it's just a waste of time

this is not a dream

do you get the picture

I know I may seem peculiar,

baby; gimme time

cause when I hit my stride



CHORUS



I'm a tough, tough game

that no one can master

I'm a tall, tall tale

that no one believes

I'm a long, dark night

with no morning after

I'm a thundercloud

when you're out at sea

and if you try to run--baby,

I can run faster

Lucky you

you get the best of me.



You get the best of me!
