It’s Not Working For Me by Richard Weinberg

[Intro]

[Guitar Only Long Intro]

[Verse 1]
You don’t hear what I say 
You never hear what I say 
Oh, when I asked you what you wanted to eat
 You said, “I don’t care”… then vetoed me 
Oh, and I tried, girl, I really did try 
But you changed your mind like four times by nine

[Pre-Chorus]
And I’m losin’ patience, can’t you see?

[Chorus]
It’s not workin’, workin’, girl 
It’s not workin’ for me 
You can love me, but it’s not enough 
When you change my TV channel it’s rough
Hey now—no, no, can’t you see?
 It’s not workin’ for me

[Verse 2]
You correct how I speak 
In front of my friends every week 
Oh, you say it’s “espresso,” not “expresso,” please
 While I’m just tryin’ to drink my java in peace 
Oh, and you sigh every time that I breathe too loud
 Like I’m some kind of foghorn in a crowd

[Pre-Chorus]
Girl, I’m beggin’, let me be!

[Chorus]
It’s not workin’, workin’, girl
 It’s not workin’ for me 
You have a headache, I lose my mind 
You mess with my playlist all the time
Hey now—no, no, can’t you see? 
It’s not workin’ for me

[Bridge]
Now wait a minute… listen here… 
You ate my leftovers I was savin’ all day! 
You said, “I thought you didn’t want it anyway!” 
That was hope, girl—that was hope on a plate!
And another thing—(yeah!)
 You pause my shows to explain the plot… 
I was watchin’, I just blinked a lot!

[Long Solo]

[Verse 3]
You got ten throw pillows and your cat on the bed 
Now there’s nowhere for me to lay my head
 Oh, you dim the lights to a romantic glow 
I can’t find my socks, I stub my toe
 With you around, I’m not safe
 I’m fightin’ shame just to keep a straight face

[Pre-Chorus]
Girl, this ain’t compatibility!

[Chorus]
It’s not workin’, workin’, girl 
It’s not workin’ for me 
You can kiss me, that part’s fine 
But your drooling all over me
Hey now—no, no, can’t you see?
 It’s not workin’ for me

[Outro]
Na-na-na-na—(Not workin’!) 
Na-na-na-na—(Not workin’!) 
Na-na-na-na—(Girl, can’t you see?)
I said it’s not right, not right, girl 
No, it’s not right for me
You chew too loud, you read my texts
 You start a song and skip to the next 
Oh goodbye now, goodbye girl 
Take your scented candles with ya, girl
I said it’s not right, not right, girl
 No, it’s not right for me

[End Song]

[End Right Now]
