Explanations

Oh, when I was, I was, oh, if you was, like- Gimme just a, a second What I was tryna say was, what happened was... When I was, can I get a word in edgewise? When I do what I do Why must I keep giving you an explanation? I am sure enough at a loss When I have to deal with cross examinations I thought it was surely well beyond Any harm it may confirm investigation But this is lucid and defensive When I'm bumping up against your imagination So we sat down and we talked it under 'Til there wasn't nothing left of it And it always makes me wonder If I'm sitting here and talking to myself When I say what I say Why do you get in my way with intimidation? I am only wasting time Knowing you don't want to find no information It's like stepping under water And getting nowhere fast I wonder if it's really worth the bother And sometimes I feel like I may not last Feeling like a treasure hunter looking for an explanation Now what really happened was somethin' that you might believe Looking for an argument and not an explanation But you can't get one with me Take off Feeling like a treasure hunter looking for an explanation Now what really happened was somethin' that you might believe Looking for an argument and not an explanation But you can't get one with me Do what I do Why must I keep giving you an explanation? Girl it surely ain't no change When it's always the same investigation It's like stepping under water And getting nowhere fast I wonder if it's really worth the bother And sometimes I feel like I may not last Can you dig it? When I say what I say Why do you get in the way with intimidation? Girl it surely ain't no change I know it's always the same confrontations Yeah I'm just a couple minutes late And you look like the jury great Perry Mason
