Lyrics for Jerkin' Back 'N' Forth

I know I let you tell me what to do You were confident you knew best Now things aren't working like you want them to Your confidence is what I detest You got me looking up high You got me searching down low You got me, I know you know You got me jerkin' back 'n' forth You told me, people like to suffer You told me that's the way it is You said that things were getting better You said I should accept all this You think it's funny But what I say is true The reason that I live like this Is all because of you You got me looking up high You got me searching down low You got me, I know you know You got me jerkin' back 'n' forth There is a thought that keeps me thinking Like a stone inside my shoe It is a vision reoccurring A dirty window, I can see you through You think it's funny But what I say is true The reason that I live like this Is all because of you You got me looking up high You got me searching down low You got me, I know you know You got me jerkin' back 'n' forth You got me looking up high You got me searching down low You got me, I know you know You got me jerkin' back 'n' forth
