Since I was young, I've been very hard to please
And I don't know wrong from right
But there is one thing I could never understand
Some of the sick things that a girl does to
a man
So I'm just sitting on a fence
You can say I got no sense
Trying to make up my mind really is so horrifying
So I'm sitting on a fence
All of my friends at school grew up and settled
down
And they mortgaged up their lives
One thing's not said too much but I think
it's true
They just get married 'cause there's nothing
else to do
So I'm just sitting on a fence
You can say I got no sense
Trying to make up my mind really is so horrifying
So I'm sitting on a fence
I'm just sitting on a fence
You can say I got no sense
Trying to make up my mind really is so horrifying
So I'm sitting on a fence
The day can come when you get old and sick
and tired of life
You just never realized
Maybe the choice you made wasn't really right
But you go out and you don't come back at
night
So I'm just sitting on a fence
You can say I got no sense
Trying to make up my mind really is so horrifying
So I'm sitting on a fence
