Hard Case

She goes down fast, and comes up slow.
She gets in high, and goes out low.
Turns up late, or doesn't show.
She spends all the cash, I'll let 'em go.
I'm never early, I'm never late.
I'm in at 5, and I'm out at 8.
Runnin' just to keep the pace.
When I'm tired, I put on my bravest face.
[chorus:]
The sign said, go slow,
And Lord knows, how I tried to follow.
Since your hard case with a soft face
you give me warm taste,
And now look at the shape I'm in.
I love her, but I like you too.
My worst nightmare just came true.
I might be done, but we're not through,
So wear me out just like you used to do.
The sign said, go slow,
And Lord knows, how I tried to follow.
Since your hard case with a soft face
you give me warm taste,
And now look at the shape I'm in.
With the mornin' comes the sun.
The light of day just had to come.
And now I know, I'm not the one.
I should feel bad, but baby we had fun.
The sign said, go slow,
And Lord knows, how I tried to follow.
Since your hard case with a soft face
you give me warm taste,
And now look at the shape I'm in.
Hold me down under the sea.
Drag me back to where we used to be.
The sign said, go slow,
And Lord knows, how I tried to follow.
Since the hard case with a soft face
you give me warm taste,
And I found it hard to swallow.
The sign said, go slow
And Lord knows, how I tried to follow.
Since your hard case with a soft face
you give me warm taste,
And now look at the shape I'm in.
