Lyrics for Walkin' On Eggshells

One, two, three, four Before we get started it I'll clean this up No use drinking from a leaking cup You know what I mean? Not really, it seems And when we get going, we'll keep it saying Changes as good as a holiday I'm not claiming I'm some patron saint Say what you want, don't got a lot All of what I got I give it all away Walkin' on eggshells gets tiring and Pulling teeth, white-knuckling And I don't wanna hurt your feelings So I say nothing A sort of self-righteous, my heart of gold Just sit back, do what you're told If you spot it, you got it Well, maybe I got it too Say what you want, don't got a lot All of what I got I give it all away And it goes And it goes Yeah, it goes away Say what you need to... Say what you want, don't got a lot All of what I got I give it all away Say what you want, don't got a lot All of what you got you throw it all away
