Sad Clowns - John Mellencamp

Well I don’t wait on women

I don’t open doors

I’m not much of a gentleman

And by the way, I keep score

So if you are thinking

You’re sitting on top of the world with me

Baby, you’d better think again

I don’t care for girls

Who give compliments to themselves

How glamorous they are

And how they’re really something else

I’ve been taken in

By women like that before

So baby, you’d better think again

I could be more accommodating

But somehow it’s lost on me

And all this useless talking

About how it’s going to be

I’ll come along for the ride

And this sad clown company

Hey baby, you’d better think again

Well I’m about as dependable

As a drunkard who needs a drink

Have no real interest

In what you might say or think

But I got the ice cubes

To pour you a drink

Baby, you’d better think again

I could be more accommodating

But somehow it’s lost on me

And all this useless talking

About how it’s going to be

I’ll come along for the ride

And your sad clowncompany

But baby, you’d better think again

I’d like to apologize

For all my shortcomings now

And sure, I get lonely

But I get over it somehow

I’m not exactly a young girl’s dream

Cause you figured that out by now

So baby, you’d better think again

Hey baby, you’d better think again
