- Remember all the times you begged and borrowed?
- "We're all in this together", we'll help you back
- You certainly helped yourself, you took the whole meal
- along with all the silverware you could stack
- But when I was drowning, you were busy frowning
- "Sorry we can't help you now, maybe next month somehow
- We've got to work this as a team,
- Money isn't real, remember the dream
- You almost had me thinking it's not far.
- You were close -- close but no cigar

- Remember when you said I was a liar?
- You'd show the world and make sure they'd all laugh at me
- But I've got some news for you -- your pants are on fire
- along with your facade of integrity

- I tried so hard to build some understanding
- Spent three hours on the phone while you wore me down
- I don't know if you took note, but I answered everything you wrote
- And all you could do was throw your weight around.
- You wanted me to say that we were friends
- You got so close I got the bends
- While I bent over, you drove off in my car.
- Yes you got close -- close but no cigar.

- The voices in your head say you can't be wrong
- What's good for you is good for all mankind
- While you worked for your own ends, I defended you to my friends
- Because you said we were so intertwined
- I tried to clean up the blurry lines,
- but you covered them up with valentines
- and words that had me dreaming on a star
- Yes you got close -- close but no cigar.
