counting upside down Lyrics

daddy won't like this discussion 
think he might find it too much 
when he sees what you want to be

something you won't tell your sister 
what she don't know she won't miss 
when they see what you want to be 
see what you could have been

baby won't live with your mama 
still she does better than some 
when they see what you want to be

you can trade tongues with your brother 
it's better than losing your lover 
when they see what you want to be 
see what you could have been

no way to please her 
she goes where you lead her 
some days you tease her 
but she's counting them upside down

janey leaves you out of pocket 
and she's no good for your confidence 
you can do better than this one 
having your palm read in russian 
will not see what you want to see 
see what you could've been

no way to leave her 
she goes where you lead her 
some days you tease her 
but she's counting them upside down

daddy won't like this decision 
you're gonna be causing some friction 
all of your records are broken 
it doesn't say much for your confidante

no way to please her 
she goes where you lead her 
some days you tease her 
no way to please her 
no way to please her 
she goes where you lead her 
some days you tease her 
but she's counting them upside down
