I remember what you told me, it wasn't too long ago
You told me that you knew the answer, But now I wonder if you really know
I see what appears to be a conflict, what you say and what you do
And I really have to admit it, I don't know how to analyze you
It seems that you never really try to do the best that you can
'Cause the things you say are not the things you do just like any other man
At first you really talked religion, but now that isn't comin' through
I really had hoped that you really were right
And I watched to see how well you'd do
But it seems to me now it was just another trip
Because I didn't see a lasting change
And the whole thing strikes me as peculiar
More than just a little bit strange
You never really try to do the best that you can
And that'll never really be enough
'Cause I saw you back down from what you said you believed
When the goin' got a little rough
It's really too bad, I hoped that you were right
I was really lookin' for a change
But it seems this trip is just like all the rest
And I guess I'll have to pass again
