Lyrics Nellie McKay

Nellie McKay

Really

Am I sad

Not sad enough really

Am I mad

Not mad enough clearly

Am I

Complacent

Completely

Lacking in sincerity

Yes indeed I am

Am I tough

Not tough enough really

Am I rough

Not rough enough nearly

Am I lying here

On the ground

Watching you get pushed around

Yes indeed I am

Really

I don't know why

I'm such a wimp

I realize

I'm just your pimp

But what can I do

What can I do

Am I small

Not small enough really

I feel lame and circumspect

I feel your pain and yet

I feel sympathy

Empathy

It's just that I'm super busy right now

Really

I don't know why

I'm such a shit

I realize

This doesn't help a bit

But what can I do

What can I do

Am I bad

Not bad enough really

I feel angry and upset

I could write you a small check

Look I wish you luck

And here's you're buck

It's just that I'm a yuppie fuck

Yes indeed I am

Really
