I'll tip my hat to the beldam
Before the lightning strikes me down
Oh well, of course I'm a gentleman
Before the ladies start to figure me out
When there's nothing left to do
And everybody hates you
And you never really try
Well you bet you bet
I'm throwing a life line
Yeah you bet you bet
I'm throwing the lifeline
Oh when there's nothing left to do
And everybody hates you
And you never really try
Well you bet you bet
I'm throwing a life line
Yeah you bet you bet
I'm throwing the lifeline
Oh trapped inside of infatuations With people that you'll never know
And never once did I second guess that You would be the first to go
Oh when there's nothing left to do
And everybody hates you
And you never really try
Well you bet you bet
I'm throwing a life line
Yeah you bet you bet
I'm throwing the lifeline
I start to feel like a villain
I lied If I ever said I don't know why
Fixated on my appearance
It's nice when I'm dressed up in a suit and a tie
Oh when there's nothing left to do
And everybody hates you
And you never really try
Well you bet you bet
I'm throwing a life line
Yeah you bet you bet
I'm throwing the lifeline
