Well, I was high and mighty
For quite a long time
Doing what was natural
Just to try to unwind
Then I took a tumble
And promises were mumbled
Next thing in the morning
I wake up in this jungle
I feel my heart is pumping
To the beat of the band
Certain things are happening
That I don't understand
Everyone is glaring
The saxophone is blaring
Hope you understand
But I just can't keep from staring
I'm talking to you
I'm talking to you
I'm talking to you
Well, I walk around town
With a dime-store smile
Trying to find a little comfort
Trying to show a little style
Man tried to fake me
When others tried to take me
Never really sure
If they're ever going to break me
Sitting in this bar and I'm almost broke
Choking on emotion and the cigarette smoke
As long as you can pay
The band is going to play
Hope you understand
But I feel I gotta say it
I'm talking to you
I'm talking to you
I'm talking to you
