"Hard To Explain"
Was an honest man
Asked me for the phone
Tried to take control
Oh, I don't see it that way
I don't see it that way
Oh, we shared some ideas
All obsessed with fame
Says we're all the same
Oh, I don't see it that way
I don't see it that way
Raised in Carolina
"I'm not like that"
Trying to remind her
When we go back
I missed the last bus, I'll take the next train
I try but you see, it's hard to explain
I say the right things, but act the wrong way
I like it right here, but I cannot stay
I watch the TV; forget what I'm told
Well, I am too young, and they are too old
The joke is on you, this place is a zoo

Everything's just great
Oh, I just can't remember

Pretend to be nice, so I can be mean
I miss the last bus, we take the next train
I try but you see, it's hard to explain

When I feel left out"
So I walked out:
"Oh, baby, don't care no more
I know this for sure,
I'm walkin' out that door"
Well, I've been in town for just about fifteen minutes now
And Baby, I feel so down
And I don't know why
I keep walkin' for miles
See, people they don't understand
No, girlfriends, they can't understand
Your Grandsons, they won't understand
On top of this, I ain't ever gonna understand...
Last night, she said:
"Oh, baby, don't feel so down.
Oh, it turns me off,
When I feel left out"
So I, I turn 'round:
"Oh, baby, gonna be alright"
It was a great big lie
'Cause I left that night, yeah
"Barely Legal"
