From the recording Listen and Learn
Lyrics
Finished, done my apprenticeship
Sold out, lost all innocence
When you said laud that I (hey)
Had no future doing what I did
Held no promise believing as I did (ah)
You took my confidence
Stole all my sweetness
But thank you, you’ve really done me a favor
And got me to face hard facts
I thank you, you’ve really done me a favor
Made me wake up.
(My thanks to you, you’ve really done me a favor etc)
Like hell, all the stories that you would tell at my expense
But I know now, laughing last is louder
Well haven’t you noticed that (hey)
I’m no longer walking behind you and I am
No longer just thinking beside you
You took my confidence
Stole all my sweetness
But thank you, you’ve really done me a favor
And got me to face hard facts
I thank you, you’ve really done me a favor
Made me wake up, you made me wake up
(My thanks to you, you’ve really done me a favor etc)
You took me for a ride
Played with me for a while
Mr. Jekyll and Hyde on the inside
That’s all you were to me
And all that you said to me was
I could never be strong and I could
Never belong and I could never be anything at all
But there’s something you forgot
I learned from what you taught
Thank you……..thank you………….
Thank you (my thanks to you)
You’ve really done me a favor
And got me to face hard facts
But thank you
You’ve really done me a favor
You made me wake up
You made me wake up
You made me wake up
You you you you you you you
Thank you you you
