The riverbeds flow with the water of us And the plain is flooded with broken trust And you’re such a big man, you can tell me to fuck off Is it only I who know how much it cost You to say those words Now I’m Nelly Furtado and those birds Are looking like something I need to be And you try to embarrass me Into defeat Did you think I was falling at your feet I was only giving you a way To express what you never say By taking the lower position Then you use it as ammunition To fire at me How ‘bout I just set you free And you can go mess up someone else’s life Word on the grapevine is that he’s got a wife And I wonder if she’s the fire that burns everything And if that’s why you gave her a ring Instead of me The day calling me back was free But it’s pricey now And I don’t think you can afford it somehow
