Ask me nicely to get lost

Wondered what you meant by that

But once the T's had all been crossed

I realized you've got no tact

Much to my dismay

There was nothing to assay

I think I'd have a shot at it if they'd just let me play

Tell me what I've been doing wrong

And you go on and on and all night long

And my window of opportunity

Was dangled right in front of me

Won't open up because it was painted shut



Baiting me with interest

Just so you can say so what

And somewhere there's a village

That's missing an idiot

Imagine my chagrin

Don't know where to begin

Got one foot stuck in the door I'm almost halfway in

Those traps had all been set before

And you walk on and on across the floor

And my window of opportunity

Was dangled right in front of me

Just wide enough but it was painted shut



Give it a chance

Try to be nice

Whether you mean it or not

I don't mind

If you don't find

The window 'cause someone drew the blind



There's nothing left to misconstrue

And you go on and on and right on cue

And my Window of opportunity

Dangled it right in front of me

Just wide enough but it was painted shut

Window of opportunity

Dangled it right in front of me

Just wide enough but it was painted shut
