| You must be mistaken,
 | 
| It couldn’t have been
 | 
| You couldn’t have seen him yesterday.
 | 
| He’s doing some deal down in Baltimore now,
 | 
| I hate it when he’s away.
 | 
| You must be mistaken, I’m sure that you are.
 | 
| There’s more that one care with stickers on And lots of young guys wear corduroy shirts,
 | 
| And I’d know if he hadn’t gone.
 | 
| Take that look off your face.
 | 
| I can see through your smile.
 | 
| You would love to be right.
 | 
| I bet you didn’t sleep good last night,
 | 
| Couldn’t wait to bring all of that bad news to my door.
 | 
| Well, I’ve got news for you: I knew before.
 | 
| If I’m not mistaken, I know when it came,
 | 
| In fact I can name the very day.
 | 
| When we started to plan the future and all,
 | 
| Joe started to pull away.
 | 
| No, I didn’t dig deep.
 | 
| I did not want to know.
 | 
| Well, you don’t interfere
 | 
| When you’re scared of the things you might hear.
 | 
| Bet you think I should end this
 | 
| Right now as you would do.
 | 
| Well, my hard bitten friend,
 | 
| I am not you.
 | 
| Take that look off your face!
 | 
| I can see through your smile.
 | 
| You would love to be right. | 
| I bet you didn’t sleep good last night,
 | 
| Couldn’t wait to bring all of that bad news to my door.
 |

 |
