I'll Bother You

Story Behind The Song

The inspiration came from an incident at our local church. A couple young skateboarders were skating in the parking lot and on the rails. The church staff confronted them and an argument ensued which lead to the placement of "No Skateboarding Aloud" signs on the building. Where we really caring or concerned about who they were inside? Hmmmm.

Lyrics

I walk in, you are walking out

I wonder what you think of me

But you don't think of me at all

(chorus)

So I'll bother you, I'll bother you


'Cuz I don't think a lot of you

I'll bother you until you bother with me

I feel the look behind the wall

You see me from your point of view

But I'm not what you say I am

So I'll bother you, I'll bother you


'Cuz I don't think a lot of you


I'll bother you until you bother with me

(bridge)

Tell me, how am I to ask


For anything I need?


You don't really want to know


What's inside you and me


We are both afraid and hide


With a trace of fear inside


And our anger open wide

(Inst. Intense)

I think that it is time to go

You don't have anything for me

I'm going, you can have it all


And I won't bother you, won't bother you


'Cuz I don't think a lot of you


I won't bother you so you won't bother me


And I won't bother you, won't bother you


'Cuz I don't think a lot of you


I won't bother you so you won't bother me


And I won't bother you, won't bother you


'Cuz I don't think a lot of you


I won't bother you so you won't have to bother with... me

(repeat and finish on Em)
Don't bother me, I won't bother you
Don't bother me, don't bother me, don't bother me
