Drop those flowers--back away slowly
you jumped in, thinking this was holy water
well surprise, surpise
this is not a test
welcome to the party

I've been on my best behaviour, but I think it's time
you saw the other side...cause

CHORUS:
I'm a tough, tough game
that no one can master
I'm a tall, tall tale
that no one believes
I'm a long, dark night
with no morning after
Lucky you
you get the best of me.

Brand new day--honeymoon's over
peace and quiet
puts me in a coma anyway
it's just a waste of time
this is not a dream
do you get the picture
I know I may seem peculiar,
baby; gimme time
cause when I hit my stride

CHORUS

I'm a tough, tough game
that no one can master
I'm a tall, tall tale
that no one believes
I'm a long, dark night
with no morning after
I'm a thundercloud
when you're out at sea
and if you try to run--baby,
I can run faster
Lucky you
you get the best of me.

You get the best of me!
