Meanwhile Back at the Ranch / Should I Smoke - Badfinger

Why do they play so hard to get?

Is there something they might regret?

Is it better to just forget, just forget?

If they only would let us know

Then, we’d know just how far to go

But instead they just tell us no, tell us no

You, you always played the fool

You always break the rule

At every single school you know

It always pulled you down

It would always pull you down

You, you never stayed the same (Never stayed the same)

And now you take the blame

For all the little games they play (No, won’t take the blame)

And let it bring you down

Why’d you let it bring you down?

Why do they play so hard to get?

You, you never stayed the same (Never stayed the same)

And let it bring you down

Why’d you let it bring you down?

Should I smoke or should I die?

Somebody must tell me why

Should I laugh?

Should I cry?

Won’t somebody help me?

Don’t know what to say

You’re makin' me better

I’ve learned how to pray

Change in the weather today

Don’t know what to do

Just makes it hard to lose

The day passes by

And nobody listens

Nobody cries

For anyone’s vision today

Don’t know what to do

Just makes it hard to choose

Should I smoke or should I die?

Somebody must tell me why

Should I laugh?

Should I cry?

Won’t somebody help me?
