[Verse 1]
Walking out of the door, I'm on my way
Can you tell me just where I'm going?
Occupational skills would you give me a clue
What to do 'cause my mind's in motion

[Pre-Chorus 1]
Just trying to relax, I find myself on the couch
With big plans but there's always tomorrow
Is something wrong with me
Or the way that I'm thinking?

[Chorus]
Come on, come on and tell me why you're staring
Come on, come on it must be what I'm wearing
Come on, come on and tell me
Why's it taking so long for you to recognize and stop

[Verse 2]
Another day in the sun I'm having fun
Feel the heat sneaking up on me
I take a look in the sky a plane goes by
Is that the reason that I can't breathe?

[Pre-Chorus 2]
I take a look and I wonder why
Why these birds don't fly
It's hard for me to see and I believe
Oh my, oh my

[Chorus]
Come on, come on and tell me why you're staring
Come on, come on it must be what I'm wearing
Come on, come on and tell me why's it taking so long for you to recognize and stop

[Organ Solo]

[Verse 3]
I took a trip to the bar does my money go far
Can you show me just how to spend it
Moving around I like the sound
I find myself looking pretty stupid

[Pre-Chorus 3]
If I had a gal she'd be in a dress
I better slow my drinking down
If I don't get it together tonight
They're gonna run me out of town

[Chorus]
Come on, come on and tell me why you're staring
Come on, come on it must be what I'm wearing
Come on, come on and tell me why's it taking so long for you to recognize and stop! Stop! Stop!
Come on, come on and tell me why you're staring
Come on, come on and stop
