Story Behind the Song
Again, Doc came up with this cool bass line and Juice tossed his 2 cents worth in, then the Wood petrified it! (Another tormented ditty from the depths of Juice's romance department).
Lyrics
If you come on home to me, leave your attitude behind/ You can never sit back and relax, and watch the world go on by/ You're happier girl with a frown, than a smile on your face/ Cause you don't want to compare me, with a different man and a different place/ WHY DOES EVERYTHING HAVE TO BE - SO SERIOUS, WHY DOES EVERYTHING HAVE TO BE - A TORCH SONG, WHY DOES EVERYONE HAVE TO PLAY - SO UNKIND/ Well you think i'm just a boy, trapped in his hometown/ You think i'm just another little toy, one you think will keep coming round/ Well i've got a plan someday, and i keep my hopes alive/ Got a way, got a stand, got a play, that will keep me up to the by and by/ (chorus)/ So you think i'm another man, who once put his hands on you/ Lately you've been the one to take the shots, to throw the phone, to fuel the many and not the few/ Well i'm a kind and gentle man, who can understand all this spite/ I never wanted to raise a hand, but i just might!
