it ain't working right

it ain't working right
the doctor checked my sight
said there's too much going wrong
well, Tom Petty played his final song
about Bobby Sue
who thinks she's knows just what to do
when the lights go dim
she has her eyes set straight on him
no, she doesn't see me
but i'm holding a sign offering myself for free
i'm in a party trace
can't sing and i can't dance
want to wear a big cowboy hat but it won't fit
saw a passing joint and took a hit
saw a whiskey drink and didn't have time to think
got some courage and got it fast
felt pretty intense but i knew it wouldn't last
said, hey girl, have you heard about Pablo Picasso?
i could tell you about some other things that you don't know
it's another Friday night
it ain't working right
the doctor checked my sight
said there's too much going wrong
well, Tom Petty played his final song
about Bobby Sue
who thinks she knows just what to do
when the lights go dim
she has her eyes set straight on him
no, it's fine, it's perfectly okay
she looked at me but had nothing new to say
and all the other guys stood around
i held firm standing my ground
can't go forward and can't go back
can't surrender and can't attack
i'm in a party trance
can't sing and i can't dance
want to wear a big cowboy hat but it won't fit
saw a passing joint and took a hit
saw a whiskey drink and didn't have time to think
got some courage and got it fast
felt pretty intense but i knew it wouldn't last.
