you won’t say my name now

you won’t say my name now
you are just ashamed now

the tackle in my pocket hasn't stirred for several months
you say you love me but i’ve got a hunch
about the boy next door with his water bed
the hardest times still lie ahead

you won’t say my name now...

the window’s painted over but I don’t care
my mood is stale and so’s the air
i’ll have the last laugh wait and see
but for now please let me be!

hard times you hardly know
hard luck you never go
down where the people wait
you just lie in bed with a tube of paste

you won’t say my name now...

i found pictures in your room
ball huggin’, nut luggin’ pantaloons
the past is past, sure, i know
but your youthful sins won’t let you go

you won’t say my name now...
