Tired

Oh, what's the use of trying? All you get is grades like that
Howard, there's a very familiar pattern of behavior there. Sometimes we expect great things. Things can't always work out the way we expect. When we're severely disappointed, we become emotionally upset. Well, let me try to give you an example of this pattern of emotional upsets...

You say you're tired and I understand
Cause you're my woman and I'm your man
I'm always away with the mood
Always and is sure, of what to do

I drag my feet, all the way home
Figured I should probably spend some time alone
Me, myself, and poor old I
We always got dumbfounded and we can cry

Now, dreaming, together with realistic planning, can be very fruitful. But John's dream was not realistic. He expected perfection on his very first try. Naturally

You say you're tired and I understand
Cause you're my woman and I'm your man

Always unsure of what to do

I listen closely, but can't repeat their acts
Is that the prize of a good life, then that's what I'll say
So darling for you I'm gonna change my ways

You say you're tired and I understand
Cause you're my woman and I'm your man
I'll always wait with you
Always unsure of what to do
