I ask you just how you're feeling - fine
nothing but your pretty face on my mind
really need you, wanna seed you
take care that the brothers don't bleed you

thinking back to the things you said
nothing but your dirty face in my head
wanna wake you, wanna make you
take care for the sisters that'll break you

jesus only knows
all this time the pain inside you grows
even if you push that hurt away
where does it go, where does it go

make me feel that I'm second best
like I'm living at a 2-star address
try to find you, wine and dine you
make sure that your troubles are behind you

you like to think that you are top
of the heap of the haves' and have-nots
wanna face you, wanna taste you
make sure nobody try to waste you

jesus only knows
all this time the pain inside you grows
even if you push that hurt away
where does it go, where does it go

sticks and stones your reaction
fire and flame in the afterglow
driving me to distraction - oh no, oh no, oh no

now what you gonna tell your friends
are you gonna try to trick me again
did you really try to put me down
if you did you should be leaving town

jesus only knows
all this time the beast inside you grows
even if you lock that thing away
where does it go, where does it go

hold on tight and don't let go
hold on to the things you know
don't you see the writings on the wall
make sure everything you say
brings you closer everyday
don't you get too far away to call
