Testo Turning Blue

You call me up
when you're done with him,
but you tell me "that's just dumb".
I don't need much to get by.
If I can't have the cake,
I'll settle for the crumbs.
But the day is gonna come
when I can't wait anymore. No, I can't wait anymore.

(chorus)
Sister, I'm turning blue.
I'm holding my breath for a dream gone dead.
I'm kickin' a jones for you,
'cause the truth don't fit inside my head.

You ain't no baby mother,
I'm not some kind of brother,
but we're supposed to work it out.
I'm tryin' to stay back,
I'm tryin' to stay cool,
I'm tryin' not to shout.
But I'm beginning to have my doubts if I can take anymore.
No, I can't take anymore.

(repeat chorus)
