Don’t Be There

[Verse 1] Don't be there Don't be there 'Cause I'm on my way And I'm already gone over And I'm on my way, hey [Chorus] And I can't recall myself How I went down Did I get shot Or shoot myself [Verse 2] I'm down here I'm down here And you're way up there That doesn't hurt badly But it stings right here, hey [Chorus] I can't recall myself How I went down Did I get shot Or shoot myself [Chorus 2] And I won't pretend there's Nothing there You be around And I'll be square Don't be alarmed if I'm not there You be around And I'll be square [Verse 3] If you're a rose Then I'm the thorn That's in your side And does it hurt badly? 'Cause it burns right here, hey [Chorus] I can't recall myself How I went down Did I get shot Or shoot myself [Bridge] I'd like to say hello I'd like to say I care I'd like to let you know That nothing here's the same with me Nothing here's the same [Chorus] I can't recall myself How I went down Did I get shot Or shoot myself [Chorus 2] And I won't pretend there's Nothing there You be around And I'll be square Don't be alarmed if I'm not there You be around And I'll be square [Ending] Don't be around Don't be there Don't be there
