The Answer Songtext

von The Guess Who

It's no good anymore
When your hands are tied
Cause your friends found you out
When you broke down and cried
And the bright colored balls
That you held inside
Weren't the answer
No, no, no
Not the answer

It's no good anymore
When you know all the rules
Cause your friends pushed you out
And they all look like fools
And the stories that you sang
From the inside room
Weren't the answer
No, no, no
Not the answer

I'd like to help you but you're past that
I'd like to help you but it's too late
I'd like to look around the corner just to find what I could see

It's no good anymore
To abide by the rules
Cause you're graduating soon
From the loser's school
And the country tavern lady
In the house on the hill
Can't be the answer
No, no, no
She's not the answer

I'd like to help you but you're past that
I'd like to help you but it's too late
I'd like to look around the corner just to find what I could see
(Repeat)

Like to help you
But you're too far gone
I'd like to help you out
But it's too late now
