There's an old man livin' here, after all these years
Thought he'd been dead and gone but he suddenly appears
And I am not so comfortab-le with him still around
'Cause he has got a voice in m-e I have found
There's a chance that I could take him down for good
Seemed to be meant to but I know I should and I wish I could but
~Chorus~
I-I'm not as smart as I think I am
I could lie but it'd tell the truth and though I try it's just no use I am a, foolish foolish man
And I-I'm not as good as I say I am
Would You take this man who remains to be and let him up and let him breathe then, d-ie
Let him d-ie

I've seen the mystery and I've felt no surprise
I've seen a lot unfold and still been uninspired
There is no boundary to what I have abused
But my pathetic wondering leaves me nothing but confused

And I could tell you that I've got it figured out
Rather stand in front of you and scream and shout but without a doubt

~Chorus~

I-I'm not as smart as I think I am
I could lie but it'd tell the truth and try and try it's just no use I am a, foolish foolish man
And I-I'm not as good as I say I am
Would You take this man that remains to be and let him up and let him breathe then, d-ie
Let him d-ie
Let him, d-ie
Let him d-ie
