Lyrics
(VERSE 1)
Excuse me, Miss
Can I
Get some help
I know you?ve had a long day
But I?ve come a long way
You see I?ve got this heart
And it appears to be broken
It?s been used once or twice
Yes of course it was opened
(melody change)
Well it doesn?t seem fair
That I should have to accept it
The damn thing won?t work
Can I at least get a credit
(CHORUS)
An exchange
A return
I?ll take what I can get
I know it?s been more than thirty days, but can I
Please get my money back
An exchange
A return
Something better than this
It?s not my fault
I simply used-as-directed
But it just quit workin?
It must be defective
(VERSE 2)
Excuse me, Sir
I?ve been here all day
I?ve been waiting in your line
I?ve been working on your time
As I mentioned before
This heart
Just won?t work for me
It won?t open anymore
And I think it?s starting to shrink
(melody change)
Well it just isn?t fair
That I got this bad ticker
I paid in cash, dammit
I want this problem fixed quicker
(CHORUS)
An exchange
A return
I?ll take what I can get
I know it?s been more than thirty days, but can I
Please get my money back
An exchange
A return
Something better than this
It?s not my fault
I simply used-as-directed
But it just quit workin?
It must be defective
(BRIDGE)
Well I know you?ve got rules
Regulations and a
Fine policy
Can I
Speak to your manager
Someone higher up?s
Got to be able to help me
(CHORUS)
An exchange
A return
I?ll take what I can get
I know it?s been more than thirty days, but can I
Please get my money back
An exchange
A return
Something better than this
It?s not my fault
I simply used-as-directed
But it just quit workin?
It must be defective
(CHORUS)
An exchange
A return
I?ll take what I can get
I know it?s been more than thirty days, but can I
Please get my money back
An exchange
A return
Something better than this
It?s not my fault
I simply used-as-directed
But it just quit workin?
It must be defective
Excuse me, Miss
Can I get some help
