Let's sit down, stop giving me
The runaround, this isn't really
That profound, it's just never gonna work
You get wound up 'til the end
Up spread around, but we've simply got
No common ground, you know it's never gonna work
You look spent, quit asking me
If I'll relent, 'cause you know I did
My diligence, you know it's never gonna work
Stop pretending, no, you know
We can't be friends, not when this is
How it ends, you know it's never gonna work
Sugar, you were set up to fail
Right from the beginning, the beginning
There's no shame in turning tail
'Cause there's no winning, no winning
Let's just agree to bail, 'cause
These sails need trimming
So I'll put up a fight
Go at it all night
But you know that I'm right this time
And you're making me bleed
But I am not what you need
And, baby, someday you'll see that I
Would be your black sheep
Halt your drivel, excuse me if
I'm noncommittal, I'm merely trying
To be civil, but it's never gonna work
Your drive will shrivel, your mom will think
I'm rude and brittle, and I'll treat you like
You're second fiddle, no, it's never gonna work
Sugar, you were set up to fail
From the get-go, from the get-go
So close your eyes and exhale and
Try to let go, try to let go
All of you precious travails, well
You will regret those
Oh, baby
I left you when you take the bait
Put chips in all of your dinner plates
Fuck up your favorite recipe
Miss your birthday
Put holes in all your traditions
Those eras of omission
I'll be your black sheep
Oh, put up a fight
And go at it all night
But you know that I'm right this time
And you're making me bleed
But I am not what you need
And, baby, someday you'll see that I
Would be your black sheep
Let's sit down, stop giving me
The runaround, you know, this isn't really
That profound, it's just never gonna work
Your drive will shrivel, your mom will think
I'm rude and brittle, I'll treat you like
You're second fiddle, no, it's never gonna work
Sugar, you were set up to fail
From the outset, from the outset
You thought that you could've nailed it
Beyond any doubt, beyond any doubt
Well, fact is that we're gonna fail if
We don't go out, yeah
Oh, put up a fight
Go at it all night
Oh, but you know that I'm right this time
And you're making me bleed
But I am not what you need
And, baby, someday you'll see that I
Would be your black sheep
We could put up a fight
Go at it all night
But you know that I'm right this time
And you're making me bleed
But I am not what you need
And, baby, someday you'll see that I
Would be your black sheep
Let's sit down
Stop giving me the runaround
You know it's never gonna work
