Bobby Rush tells why he should remain the congressman from the 1st district.
When I see her eyes, look into my eyes
then I realise that she can see inside my head
so I close my eyes, thinking that I can hide
disasociate so I don't have to lose my head
this situation leads to agitation
will she cut me off? Will this be an amputation?
I dont know if I care
I'm the jerk, life's not fair
Fighting all the time, this is out of line
she loves me not, loves me not
do you realise I wont compromise
she loves me not, loves me not
Over the past five years, I have shed my tears
I have drank my beers and watched my fears fly away
so until this day, she still swings my way
but it's sad to say sometimes she says she loves me not
but I hesitate to tell her I hate
this relationship, I want out today, this is over
I dont know if I care
I'm the jerk, life's not fair
Fighting all the time, this is out of line
she loves me not, loves me not
do you realise I wont compromise
she loves me not
lifes not fair
I'm the jerk
Line for line, rhyme for rhyme
sometimes we be fighting all the goddamn time
it's making me sick, relationship is getting ill
piss, drunk, stupid, mad, on the real
could you feel what I feel?
whats the deal girl? we're tearing up each others world
we should be in harmony, boy and girl
that is the promise we made
back in the day, we told each other things wouldn't be this way
I think we should work this out
it's alright baby, we can scream and shout
I dont know if I care
I'm the jerk, life's not fair
Fighting all the time, this is out of line
she loves me not, loves me not
do you realise I wont compromise
she loves me not, loves me not
lifes not fair
lifes not fair
lifes not fair
I'm the jerk
lifes not fair
she loves me not, loves me not
