Would you just grow up, or would you just
let me do it?
I’m tryina bide my time writing anything but
the truth
Would you just shut up, or is it too hard for
you?
And would you leave me beaten black and
baby blue?
So I walked off, left my head in the sand
With a dollar in my wallet and a rock in my
hand
I was so uptight for a while, and I lost it.
And you hung me to dry but that was par for
the course then
So baby, shape up or ship out
And maybe you pinched on the parson’s
side
Cause right now, I’m too high to be nice
Your bedside’s primed for the night of a
lifetime
So I was drinking tall boys, past out in the
bathroom
I know I’m cratchin’ out, but I promise I’m
coming back soon
Getting tired of John Denver and George
Jones
I oughtta get goin', I'm tryina go home
But that was it, how you wanted to shake it
up
Yr tryina stay hydated—a waste of a paper
cup, I
Got a problem with cattle brandin’ and blood
ties
I’ve had enough “nice”
So baby, shape up or ship out
And maybe you pinched on the parson’s
side
Cause right now, I’m too high to be nice
Your bedside’s primed for the night of a
lifetime
Bobby Womack—wanna go back
Traded taste of a wasted evening
Switchin’ windows, tryina get close
Far away from a lazy weekend
Wishin’ Codeine was still a slow theme
You can say that we’ll keep it breezy
You complain though, turn on the radio
I’ll be listening to “Take It Easy”
Take it easy x4
So baby, shape up or ship out
And maybe you pinched on the parson’s
side
Cause right now, I’m too high to be nice
Your bedside’s primed for the night of a
lifetime
