Keep the right profile you do what you do
You keep it all tied up, you keep it all time.
You don't stay in bed all morning.
Don't stay up all night

*you could kick your amp and let the spring reverb simulate this sound
I heard about your problem, I know you got your share.
I don't care that much though, your daddy's a millionaire
He keeps the right profile, he keeps her tied up with string
but all your fake tears, easy money, you don't mean a thing to me

When you're gone, you won't come back.
