A is for all the times I bit my tongue
E is the exit sign, backstage at shows
Who spends his days living in ego-land
You always write it in the cheapest key
You always blame it on the cheapest key
You always play me in the cheapest key
They say the start's always the hardest part
But like you know, baby, I'm all warmed up
Sometimes I want to shout your name out loud
And let them in on what you're all about
You always write it in the cheapest key
You always blame it on the cheapest key
You always play me in the cheapest key
But don't get me wrong, here comes my softer side
And there it goes
'Cause I've been on the road too long to sympathize
With what you think you're owed
You always write it in the cheapest key
You always blame it on the cheapest key
You always play me in the cheapest key
The cheapest key
The cheapest key
