lyrics

I’m sorry tonight’s not the night
I’m the man we’d both like me to be
I swear it’s not you or even anyone else
I’m just trying to get this heart off my sleeve

I’ve got to watch out for personal questions
and pulling wheat out with the weeds
I’m not trying to wash a bad taste out of my mouth
I’m just trying to get this heart off my sleeve

Try to be nice and still come out looking nasty
the grizzled old wolf clothed in virgin fleece
crawling out of bed, looking in the mirror
at one p.m. in the morning
trying to figure out who the hell I’m supposed to be

I hope someday I’ll get to see
the results of my good deeds
in the meantime, please excuse me
I’m just trying to get this heart off my sleeve

Swinging in on a vine to an emotional rescue
but Tarzan ain’t who anyone wants or needs
searching for a face that’s anything other than
the one that I was born with
why can’t I draw a line short of anything to please?

Maybe someday I’ll think I’ve earned
the right to climb down from this tree
In the meantime, please excuse me
I’m just trying to get this heart off my sleeve
