Something's Got to Go

I spent my head in the candy store buyin' hopes based on hints Which probably weren't right Someone dimmed the light, And I lost my sense of truth So take my pennies on the counter gla*s and spend 'em right for me You got vision in the night You're level headed in a fight You play Boaz to my Ruth Oh, and maybe it's just me Lord, knows I been wrong before But I feel like somethings got to go Cause it just can't stay this way anymore I been pourin' out the oil while the engine's on, forgetting that it's hot I been cuttin' my hand on the rocks of the land I been tryin' this without a plow And I feel like a jar with the water gone. I'm all pasty and dry inside You got to fill me up We gotta meet and sup so you can tell me how Misplaced pa*sion How many times will I deny my right to choose? Misplaced pa*sion I often choose the jail and request to be abused Misplaced Pa*sion They say a hope deferred can make a heart grow sick Misplaced pa*sion They say a sickly heart can play the cruellest trick Misplaced pa*sion Like a pure man's hand inside murderer's glove Misplaced pa*sion Can you help me out? Can you teach me how to love?
