The Waterboys – The Three Day Man lyrics

I'm the three day man
it's three days too long
Everything is in its right place but
something is wrong
Time is on wheels
and my legs shake
I have to live with every decision
that you make

And that doesn't mean
that I'll be your slave
It doesn't mean you're here to stay
it doesn't mean we're friends for life
You know I want you
you know that I love you
But I'll never need you anyway
I'll never need you anyway

Sixes and sevens
oh how it rains
Sleep is a station
life is a train
People snatch instinctively for
whatever crutch they need
But I promise not to abuse you
if you don't love me leave

And that means
that I'll be never your slave
It means that you're not here to stay
means that we're not friends for life
You know how I want you
you know that I love you
But I'll never need you anyway
I'll never need you anyway
never need you anyway

And that means
that I'll be never your slave
It means you're not here to stay
means we're not friends for life
You know how I want you
you know that I love you

But I'll never need you anyway
I'll never need you anyway
I'll never need you anyway
never need you anyway
I'll never need you anyway
I'll never need you!
