Loose talk from up-tight people
Looking out for blood to draw
Just keep cool, don't let it phase you
All that stuff ain't worth a straw

Tight talk from stay-put people
Aimed to hurt, aimed to wound
Step on your toes, step on your fingers
Just don't take it; now, don't be fooled

Don't let them know where you're going
Don't play their games or they'll snow you in
Call on me if they derail you
Call on me 'cause I won't lock you in

Don't let them know where you're going
Don't play their games 'cause they'll snow you in
Call on me if they derail you
Stay with me 'cause I won't lock you in

Double-talking, double-meaning
Tight-rope tactics to trip you up
Don't play their games; go where your heart says
Keep on pushing, you'll get there yet

Oh yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah
