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

And I can't recall myself
How I went down?
Did I get shot or shoot myself?

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

I can't recall myself
How I went down?
Did I get shot or shoot myself?

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

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

I can't recall myself
How I went down?
Did I get shot or shoot myself?

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

I can't recall myself
How I went down?
Did I get shot or shoot myself?

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

Don't be around
Don't be there
Don't be there
