Wake me up when you are over

'Cause I don't want to hear you say

That you've got worries on your shoulder

Well, I'd love to say they'll up and go away I know that you ain't cryin'

But that don't mean that you don't feel

Deep inside you might be dying

That may be the only thing that's ever real It's a reach around jerk in a button-down shirt

Talking sweet to keep all the little people happy

When the talk is cheap, the *** gets deep

Better face reality that everybody's had a bad day or two They don't treat you like the way you think they should

You lick your bitter wounds

And you turn and blame the government establishment

Hide your head so no one sees you when you're down Wake me up when you are over

Let me know how long it took

If you ever need my sympathy

Honey, here's how deep you're gonna have to look I know when you get older

You'll learn the art of how to please

But right now you're just getting colder

And my love is gonna bring you to your knees It's a reach around jerk in a button-down shirt

Talking sweet to keep all the little people happy

When the talk is cheap, the *** gets deep

Better face reality that everybody's had a bad day or two They don't treat you like the way you think they should

So you lick your bitter wounds

And you turn and blame the government establishment

Hide your head so no one sees you when you're down If you need me, I am able

And if you need me, I'll be here

But when you reach across the table

Honey, you won't find me shedding any tears
