These songs are all about you
And I`m tellin` everyone I`m doin` fine without you
I hurt you but I helped you
You may think I`ve a lot of nerve
But I deserve some credit
Or at least an edit
Take out the part that breaks my heart
And makes me sound uncaring
If you eliminate the swearing
Then I could show my mother
That you can go from one chord to another
G will turn to D
You`ll turn to me
And you`ll say
`You have done me wrong,
I wrote these songs about it`
She`s aware it`s all been done before
It`s another song in this key
Yeah but this one`s about me
That all the validity she needs
Her criticism`s brutal
But I don`t really mind
Yeah, she`s put it out on vinyl
But it`s pretty hard to find, but you`ll hear
G will turn to D
You`ll turn to me
And you`ll say
`You have done me wrong,
I wrote these songs about it`
I wish I`d never taught her how to play
I knew she`d get me I should have known
Now her hands are on the fretboard in an unfamiliar way
And it`s tellin` me
She`s aware it`s all been done before
It`s another song in this key
Yeah but this one`s about me
I may not wanna hear the words to
G when put with D
But if you take what you`re shown
Learn on your own
Then everything you do
Belongs to you
But know that you are on your own
