Not What You Think It Is lyrics

You would think that keeping up would be easier

Living large and living strange

Bend yourself

Summer time it always seems to come creeping up

Keep in mind I want it to

You're cold and you're tired

You're hurt and you're sad

For all that you've given

For all that you've had

It's not what you think it is

It's not what you think it is

It's not what you think it is

You would think that living large and living well would wear you down and wear you thin

And where you're gone don't you know

I'm grumpy when the time is right and time is on my side

Baby you could fix me up I could do the same to you and maybe sometime soon

We can spend some time alone and talk about the things we should talk about

Tell me 'bout the time when everything's a mess

Tell me 'bout the time I haven't heard it yet

'Bout the time tell me 'bout the time tell me 'bout the time

'Coz all you need is time

You're cold and you're tired

Things just aren't well

You're frightful of strangers

Scared of yourself

It's not what you think it is

It's not what you think it is

It's not what you think it is

Well you're strung out when there's hell to pay

Well you're holding out for some better day

And your feet are inspired

When you need some fresh air your finger's on fire

Release it all there

It's not what you think it is

It's not what you think it might be now

It's not what you think it is

It's not what you think it is

It's not what you think it is

It's not what you think it is

It's not what you think it is

No no no no

It's not what you think it is

It's not what you think it might be now

It is not what you think it is

No no no no...
