Lyrics

I’m not the same man who let you down.
And you turned away.
I don’t sit on my duff; I work 2 shifts
Each week I get paid.
I’m flossin’ and brushin’ my teeth
just like I should.
The bank loaned me funds for a Ranger
’cause my credit is good.

But that’s a moot point, right?
Tell me it ain’t a moot point.
Say you still give a hoot
I ain’t expired fruit
And my improvements are not moot.

When the bar maid informs me I’m cut off
I don’t make a peep.
Most nights I’m in bed by 2:30
Eight hours of sleep.
No horsin’ around with the fellas
in the Robert E. Lee
I visit old people’s homes and teach orphans
if you saw me you’d see.

That’s a moot point, right?
Tell me it ain’t a moot point.
Say you still give a hoot
I ain’t expired fruit
And my improvements are not moot.

Change change change.
I changed for the better.
But better’s no good
if I don’t get her.

I’m not the same man who let you down.
And you turned away.
I don’t sit on my duff; I work 2 shifts
Each week I get paid.
I’m cookin and cleanin and acting
all kindly and good.
You wouldn’t believe if you saw it
but see it you should!

It’s a moot point, right?
Tell me it ain’t a moot point.
Say you still give a hoot
I ain’t expired fruit
And my improvements
are not moot
