Putting It On

Did you listen to your mother?

To your sister or your brothers?

Were you there for one another?

Not putting it on

Just a lack of conversation

Only adds to the frustration

Never reach a destination

Stop putting it on

Stop putting it on

Another pride thing for me to swallow

Mind games bringing me down

Another time spent, waste it tomorrow

Make sense; put your feet on the ground

You gotta

Stop – burning up inside

Stop – look around, decide

Stop – don’t be kidding yourself

Stop (stop) – and think (think)

And stop (stop) – and think (think)

Did you listen to your mother?

To your sister or your brothers?

Were you there for one another?

Not putting it on

Just a lack of conversation

Only adds to the frustration

Never reach a destination

Stop putting it on

Stop putting it on

You been downsized too many times

You’d better wake up and see the divide

And if the breakdown leaves you alone

It ain’t the first time been trouble at home

You gotta

Stop – burning up inside

Stop – look around, decide

Stop – don’t be kidding yourself

Stop (stop) – and think (think)

And stop (stop) – and think (think)

Did you listen to your mother?

To your sister or your brothers?

Were you there for one another?

Not putting it on

Just a lack of conversation

Only adds to the frustration

Never reach a destination

Stop putting it on

See me eating my heart

See the whole thing falling apart

Everything you learned at the start

Are the things that tore you apart

We’d better leave it

We’d better leave it

We’d better leave it

Did you listen to your mother?

To your sister or your brothers?

Were you there for one another?

Not putting it on

Just a lack of conversation

Only adds to the frustration

Never reach a destination

Stop putting it on

Did you listen to your mother?

To your sister or your brothers?

Were you there for one another?

Not putting it on

Just a lack of conversation

Only adds to the frustration

Never reach a destination

Stop putting it on

Stop putting it on
