Birdland Avenue - Don't Count on Me Lyrics

I hate the part of me that thinks you'll ever come around
You have the luxury of knowing I won't let you down
I can't afford to be there for ya every time you call
Cause babe it's been some time and you're wasting mine

I've tried to add it up but still it don't make any sense (don't make any sense)
The way you roll the die and play your game at my expense (game at my expense)
You're banking on my loyalty to keep us on our feet (keep us on our feet)
I counted up your words but don't cha know that talk is cheap

I'll put my two cents in 'cause I think you oughta know ('cause I think you oughta know)
You only said you care 'cause you're scared to let me go
So let me sum it up for you

Don't count on me
Don't count on me
You're not my responsibility
Don't count on (321)

You went and told your friends the things you couldn't say to me (why did you, why did you do that)
(But how was) I supposed to fix all the things I couldn't see (I wish I, I wish I knew that)
And now you're tryna tell me that you wanna make it work (no no no no no no no)
No you can't just flip a coin
I'm done (with all) this back (and forth)
This back and forth (back and forth nuh)

I'll put my two cents in 'cause I thought you oughta know
('Cause I thought you oughta know, 'cause I thought you oughta know)
I know you only said you cared 'cause you're scared to let me go (too scared to)
Let me sum it up for you

Don't count on me
Don't count on me
You're not my responsibility
Don't count on (321)

Ten, nine, you crossed the line
Eight, seven, I'm bettin'
Six, you'll admit later on that you miss this
But five, if you're not gonna fight for us
Here's my advice for you
Three, two
Don't count on

Don't count on me (don't count on me)
Don't count on (don't count on me)
You're not my responsibility
Don't count on (321)
