A Pukwudgie is a 2-or-3-foot-tall (0.61 or 0.91 m) being from the Wampanoag folklore. Pukwudgies' features resemble those of a human, but with enlarged noses, fingers and ears. Their skin is described as being a smooth grey, and at times has been known to glow.
In Native American lore, Pukwudgies have the following traits and abilities;
Native Americans believed that Puckwudgies were best left alone. When you see a Puckwudgie you are not supposed to mess with them, or they will repay you by playing nasty tricks on you, or by following you and causing trouble. They were once friendly to humans, but then turned against them. They are known to kidnap people, push them off cliffs, attack their victims with short knives and spears, and to use sand to blind their victims.
"Legends of the Pukwudgie began in connection to 'Maushop', a creation giant believed by the Wampanoag to have created most of Cape Cod. He was beloved by the people, and the Pukwudgies were jealous of the affection the Natives had for him. They tried to help the Wampanoag, but their efforts always backfired, until they eventually decided to torment them instead. They became mischievous and aggravated the Natives until they asked 'Granny Squanit', Maushop’s wife, for help. Maushop collected as many as he could. He shook them until they were confused and tossed them around New England. Some died, but others landed, regained their minds and made their way back to Massachusetts.
I know I do some things that make you so confused
One minute I'm so in love and the next I can't stand you
But if u may ask it's just the things that you do
that reminds me of all of the mess that I've been through
I got this baggage with me
Don't wana make you pay for what somebody else has done to me
I don't know what to do
With all this baggage in me
Everytime I hurt your feelings it's what someones done to me
I don't mean to hurt you
Heartache and pain I just can't do it again
So I look for the worst and brace myself for the hurt
But nobody has ever treated me this way
Please be patient with me coz I want you to stay but I got all
This baggage with me
Don't wana make you pay for what somebody else has done to me
I don't know what to do
With all this baggage in me
Everytime I hurt your feelings it's what someone's done to me
I don't mean to hurt you
It's no way to be livin' my life
But I can't get it out of my mind
You know I love you yes I do
So don't, don't we get it confused
Don't be confused coz boy u know I realy do love you
Want you to stay wit me I never ment to hurt you baby
It won't be easy gettin rid of all this baggage baby
I got all of this baggage with me
Don't wana make you pay for what somebody else has done to me
I don't know what to do
With all this baggage in me
Everytime I hurt your feelings
It's what someone's done to me

BRIDGE #1
Bm C Bm
It's like a mountain of debris that doesn't do anything
F#m G F#m
It just gets deeper than the sea and piles up to the sky ooo ooo
G A
It stops you being where you should be, somewhere else
Come and pick up your baggage. Put it on another plane
It complicates the simple things steps on the brakes again and again
Shift it lug it move it on together with your point of view
It's getting hard to separate your baggage from you
BRIDGE #2

It makes you old and infirm before your time
Come and pick up your baggage
BRIDGE #1 (1st half)
Come and pick up your baggage it's weighing down my heart
You never seem to understand the horse is not the cart
Shift it lug it move it on together with your point of view
It's getting hard to separate your baggage from you
Pick it up
All that we've been through
And all we can't undo
I'm picking out the songs to set the mood
They'll play them at a funeral for you
I have been the only friend
I have stayed until the end
I'm telling you my brother
I am through!
It's a measure of pity
That I won't carry... I won't carry
It's a matter of duty
But I won't carry... I won't carry you
Most of us have our secrets
One deep-rooted mark we can't remove
I'm guessing yours still owns you
I can't dig mine up to bury you
I have been the only friend
I have stayed until the end
I'm telling you my brother
I am through!
I will lie with the guilty
But I won't carry... I won't carry...
It's a measure of bad dreams

running out of time again
where did you go wrong this time?
when your problems overwhelm you
go get drunk it's party time
take a quaalude, relax your mind
relax your body too!
run from problems but
you'll never get away
no one loves you, and you
wonder why?
sitting there with your mouth full of beer
your eyes are glazed, your face is red
who's gonna pick you up and use you for tonight?
and when you're on the streets
with a needle in your arm
selling your body for another fix
who's gonna pick you up and take you home with them tonight
not me!
running out of breath again you're an Old Maid,
but you're only 15
you're losing your little girl's charm
cry all night but you'll never get it back
don't be afraid, it's not too late
save yourself, I need you here
wearing off, wearing out
I'm lookin' old today
In a very sort of jaded way
Very cynical and hard
Weeds all over my yard
I can't remember the summer
It's all a blur, yeah
It's been pilin' high
It's been pilin' up so goddamn high
Now I've got baggage
I'm probably tagged for life
My self-righteous eyes
Wanna close the book
It's got nothing to do with the looks
Can't keep it together, losing my grip
Yeah, I've been sinking down
Time to abandon ship
It's hard to swim with baggage
My friends are all strangers
They stopped calling weeks ago
But guilt's a heavy load
It's a very very heavy load
Please don't tell me that I said the wrong thing
My words meant nothing then but so much to you
I broke a sacred trust, saying sorry again
How many times have I said I'm sorry
To only trash you within the day
I think out one of every statement
That my body displays
Beware of what I bring you
Baggage from far that just gets thrown onto you
I bite my tongue and slip through
Slip through to you
Feels like I'll never get through this passage
If I do, will I want to stay
Spent weeks of desperate cold nights
Reviewing all your days
Please don't tell me that I said the wrong thing
My words meant nothing then but so much to you
Why does my world
Seem to crumble and curl
Every time I start
Picturing your face
And why does a stain
Seem to cloud any gain
I'm intending
When I'm sending of your name (?)
And you won't want to hear this
Because it's a shame
I know it's a shame
The keepsake ring you gave me
Is now sitting at the thrift shop waiting to be born again
Why does my wrist
Seem to point to a fist
Every time I start
Picturing your face
And why do I burn
Still to have the final word
It's so stupid
And I know it sounds absurd
But you won't want to hear this
Because it's a shame
I know it's a shame
That all those fond reflections
Are now sitting in a fox lair (?)
Buried under mud and rain
Doo doo doo doodoodoo
Doo doo doo doodoo
Doo doo doo doodoodoo
Why does my tongue
Long to fire like a gun
At just the slightest mention of your name
And why must it be
That I feel so mch hate inside of me
When I start thinking of you
When I start thinking of you
I keep thinking of you just the same
Doo doo doo doodoodoo
Doo doo doo doodoo
Doo doo doo doodoodoo
Doo doo doo doodoodoo
Doo doo doo doodoo
[Verse 1:]
Sooner or later every man has got to settle down
And find a girl that's real
But it seems she can't be found
I know I found myself a woman that
Can give me all she has
But shes got her own issues
[Bridge:]
Sometimes,
Shes a little demanding
Not so understanding
Got to have it her way
Or it'll be no way
Ain't quick to compromise
Not the first to apologise
But that's ok, cause I'll take her baggage
[Chorus:]
Everything she do,
Know that we go through
Only makes me love her some more
And though she ain't perfect
Said I know shes worth it
So I'll take her baggage and all
Baggage and all
[Verse 2:]
One minute she's cool,
Then the next she got an attitude
Acting a fool
Like I don't know if she just want me to
Give a little attention
Show a little affection
Going out of her way
Just to get a reaction
[Bridge:]
Sometimes,
Shes a little demanding
Not so understanding
Got to have it her way
Or it'll be no way
Ain't quick to compromise
Not the first to apologise
But that's ok,
I can deal with the baggage and all
[Chorus:]
Cause everything she do,
Know that we go through
Only makes me love her some more
And though she ain't perfect
Said I know shes worth it
So I'll take her baggage and all
Baggage and all
[Verse 3:]
Fellas you know what I'm talking bout when you got that girl
And even though she drives you crazy she still your world
All of the fights and arguments,
Over the things that don't make sense
Makes me a better man
[Chorus:]
Cause everything she do,
Know that we go through
Only makes me love her some more
And though she ain't perfect
Said I know shes worth it
So I'll take her baggage and all
