I'm just trying to keep all you people happy
But it leaves no happiness for my self
Leave the list that you had for me on the shelf
You need it done now get somebody else's help
When the time come and I'm feeling down and crappy
Going to ask you for a favour in return
Don't leave me on the back to burn
Like when my teacher sat me in the back of the class to learn
I'm just trying to go and get now what's mine
And I will I said but all in good time
I'm just trying to go and get what I need
But it brings me down brings me down to my knees
I'm just trying to keep all of y'all content
If I can't you can't say I never tried
Just trying to keep all y'all satisfied
Once again you go and pushing me off aside
Used to care about what you thought consent
Used to be a straight shooter but now I'm bent
Now your approval lost it's shine
So it's time for me to finally go and get what's mine
I'm just trying to go and get now what's mine
And I will I said but all in good time
I'm just trying to go and get what I need
But it brings me down brings me down to my knees
You said yourself you're spread too thin
Burn yourself out at both your ends
You said you tell me time and time again
Pull the trigger just tell me when
You said yourself you're spread too thin
Burn yourself out at both your ends
You said you tell me time and time again
Pull the trigger just tell me when
I'm just trying to go and get now what's mine
And I will I said but all in good time
I'm just trying to go and get what I need
But it brings me down brings me down to my knees
