lyrics

Come Back When You Have More Ambition

I promised you
I’d not be quite so poor
By this time next year
I guess I’ve already failed
Given my reluctance to be paid
Any more than I think I deserve

It’s really not a moral qualm
I just like being where I am
Even if that means just surviving on stale bread
Ignore my socialist ideals
I’m as shallow as I appear
If I had money I’d only squander it
On vulgar clothes and beer

I really wish I hadn’t heard
You declaring what I’m worth
And what it really means to exist
You said I’d like this to work
Just figure out what I’m worth
And come back when you’ve really earned

And she said, “come back, baby, come back, baby,
Come back when you’ve really earned”
She said, “come back, baby, come back, baby,
Come back when you’ve convinced me you’ve learned”

And she said, “come back, baby, come back, baby,
Come back when you’ve really earned”
And she said, “come back, baby, come back, baby,
Come back when you’ve convinced me you’ve learned”

And she said, “come back, baby, come back, baby,
Come back when you’ve really listened”
And she said, “come back, baby, come back, baby,
Come back when you have more ambition”
And she said “lie”…
