Come on real nice not a word Come on with arms open wide It's okay when it's on TV When it's like the pictures in a book It's okay when it's on TV but it's you and me Caught up in history Caught the look that I just can't see Something is after me Better run I really better run Round and round, over and over Do my duty by her call return I tried once and that was that Now she knows I can't go back Back to beginning over and over Then she heard me say Been away and now I'm back How's my credit? Said, "My credit's fine" What will it be? One man's burden playing on my mind One man's burden got me just in time
One man's burden playing on my mind One man's burden got me just in time Round and round, over and over She says I did it just to please myself They think I did it just to be myself Less talk, what to talk about Less think, what to think about Okay, well, it's not okay Straighten up, you got to straighten up Tell it straight, you got to tell it straight, come on One man's burden playing on my mind One man's burden got me just in time One man's burden playing on my mind One man's burden got me just in time Round and round, over and over Round and round, over and over Round and round, over and over
