Badfinger — Meanwhile Back at the Ranch/Should I Smoke

Why do they play so hard to get? Is there something they might regret? Is it better to just forget, just forget? If they only would let us know Then, we'd know just how far to go But instead they just tell us no, tell us no You, you always played the fool (Always played the fool) You always break the rule At every single school you know (You don't break the rule) It always pulled you down It would always pull you down You, you never stayed the same (Never stayed the same) And now you take the blame For all the little games they play (No, won't take the blame) And let it bring you down Why'd you let it bring you down? Why do they play so hard to get? Is there something they might regret? Is it better to just forget, just forget? If they only would let us know Then, we'd know just how far to go But instead they just tell us no, tell us no You, you never stayed the same (Never stayed the same) And now you take the blame For all the little games they play (No, won't take the blame) And let it bring you down Why'd you let it bring you down? Should I smoke or should I die? Somebody must tell me why Should I laugh? Should I cry? Won't somebody help me? Don't know what to say You're makin' me better I've learned how to pray Change in the weather today Don't know what to do Just makes it hard to lose The day passes by And nobody listens Nobody cries For anyone's vision today Don't know what to do Just makes it hard to choose Should I smoke or should I die? Somebody must tell me why Should I laugh? Should I cry? Won't somebody help me?
