Lyrics

What's it for?


Your eyes rolling, just shaking your head
Palm of your hand in my face, when you heard what I said.
You don't seem to care, anymore!

No matter what I do, I can't get through to you!
I'm just talking, instead of putting on my shoes.
Do you have a question what's in store?

I'm going fishing and I won't need bait that's the score
You won't have to listen hard to hear the door!
Living with you has become such a chore!
I ask myself, "What's it for?"

Many times in the past we disagreed.
Things I though right, we you said were misdeeds
I have to ask does that make sense.

I was always wrong never right!
Everything I said you took as spite
Maybe you should let me vent?

I'm going fishing and I won't need bait that's the score
You won't have to listen hard to hear the door!
Living with you has become such a chore!
I have to ask myself, "What's it for?"

Your eyes rolling, just shaking your head
Palm of your hand in my face, when you heard what I said.
You don't seem to care, anymore!

If you want my vote, you better have care
No more rolling your eyes, no more blank stares
Forget the back room deals and back room door.

I'm going fishing and I won't need bait that's the score
You won't have to listen hard to hear the door!
Living with you has become such a chore!
I ask myself, "What's it for?"
