Energy Lyrics

Collective Soul

Mother and child.
I'm such a man for short while
Your promises mean the world just spins faster than me
(C'mon, c'mon, c'mon)

And all of your friends are here are whispering
I think you left me for their government
All of your friends I hope are listening
I wish you'd stop wasting all my energy

Beauty or Beast (beauty or beast)
Who's my character to be?
I'm now powdering (I'm now pouring)
All the makeup that makes me
(C'mon, c'mon, c'mon)

And all of your friends are now whispering
I think you left me for their government
All of your friends I hope are listening
I wish you'd stop sucking out my energy
And all of your friends are still whispering
I think you left me for their government.
All of your friends I hope are listening
I wish you'd stop wasting all my energy.

(You got it, you got it)
(C'mon)

And all of your friends are now whispering
I think you left me for their government
All of your friends I hope are listening
I wish you'd stop sucking out my energy
And all of your friends are still whispering
I think you left me for their government
All of your friends I hope are listening
I wish you'd stop wasting all my energy.
I wish you'd stop wasting all my energy.
I wish you'd stop wasting all my energy.
