You work to hard

So when you come home

You tell me you are tired

And you don't want to talk about it

You envy my drive

And how I am motivated.

You go down to the park

Check out the carnival for a while

And try to forget all about it

I'm out of control

And you don't appreciate it.

[Chorus]

Believe it, I need it

I feel intoxicated

I love it, I want it

Don't make me leave you for it.

You say I have changed

Self-centered and vain

And you don't respect me for it

The world is the same

So I play the game

And you've grown to hate me for it.

So weary and raged

There's no-one to blame

But still you resent me for it

I call all the shots

I hold all the cards

And you feel emasculated.

[Chorus]

Believe it, I need it

I feel intoxicated

I love it, I want it

Don't make me leave you for it.

[Bridge x2]

Believe it, I need this

I feel intoxicated

I love it, I want it

Don't make me leave you for it.

How do we reconcile this [x4]

I'm able to soldier through this. [x4]
