I'm Telling You Man

Intro

Pay Attention to My Story

Cause I’m Telling You Man

That There Are Many Times in Life

Where We Must Take Your Stand

If You Are Following the Crowd

It Could Make Your Life Grand

Or It Could Bring It Crashing Down

I’m Just Telling You Man

Verse 1

Never Thought I’d Have to Tell You

But I’m Telling You Man

If You Continue on This Course

You’ll Be Dead Where You Stand

Yes, I Know That It’s Not Easy

That This Wasn’t the Plan

No! I Don’t Need You to Reply

Cause, I’m Just Telling You, Man

Have You Ever Heard the Ditty

About Jack and Diane

They Were Two American Kids

Caught With Blood on Their Hands

Jack Could Have Been a Football Star

His Friends Had Other Plans

They Now Play with An Orange Jump Suit

So, I’m Telling You Man

Verse 2

Jack Was Once the Kid Who Always

Had A Book in His Hand

He Was at The Top Of His Class

He Was Everyone’s Friend

Then A Group of Kid’s Enticed Him

Had To Choose Where He Stand

And He Made the Wrong Decision

Now, I’m Telling You Man

He Was Hanging with The Wrong Crowd

Said He Could Make a Grand

They Took 20 Thousand Dollars

Placed It Right in His Hand

“Just Help Us Run Some Errands And

More Is Coming My Friend”

He Should Be Glad That He’s Alive

So, I’m Telling You Man.

Verse 3

Now That You Heard All About Jack

Let’s Now Jump on Diane

To Be a Doctor, Lawyer, Queen

She Did All That She Can

And Then She Gave It All Away

For The Love of A Man

He Led Her Down A Path of Crime

Now, I’m Telling You Man

I Don’t Think I Need to Tell You

What Had Happened, My Friend

When She Had Dropped Out of College

Just To Please Her New Man

And Then He Went Inside the Bank

While She Stayed in The Van

The Cops Came with Their Guns Blazing

Now, I’m Telling You Man

Shakespeare Said to Thy Own Self Be True

Never Follow Them, Let Them Follow You
