Nine Days - The Joneses lyrics

Keeping up with the joneses

keeps you keeping out

as long as you have the will to get along

and what you do for you is never wrong

so don't you worry

don't you worry

and I was never keen enough

as long as this time is still ticking on the clock

but when your pretty face won't be enough

then I won't you want you won't to want to

you're wearing your corduroys and your diamond tooth

but you couldn't relate to the girl with the silver spoon

the lies that you're telling me are always true

it's true

you made a fool of me for believing you

so keeping up with the joneses

keeps me hanging on

as long as I have the will to get along

and what I do for you is always wrong

but don't you worry

don't you worry

cuz I would never give it up

as long as this time's still ticking on the clock

but when your pretty face won't be enough

now won't you want to won't you want to

I love you the most when you are fast asleep

and whatever I do for you I'm still the creep

I realize that I'm not good enough

it's tough for sensitive men in a world that don't give a fuck

so keeping up with the joneses

keeps me hanging on

as long as I have the will to get along

and what you do for you is never wrong

but don't you worry

don't you worry

cuz you would never give it up

as long as the time's still ticking on the clock

but when your pretty face won't be enough

then I won't you want to won't you want to

now even your corduroys are faded through

and when you're walking away

well I think it's a better view

the lies that you tell yourself

are always true

so true

and you keep on talking till your face is blue

keeping up with the joneses

keeps you hanging on

as long as you have the will to get along

and what you do for you is never wrong

so don't you worry

don't you worry

and I would never give it up

as long as this time's still ticking on the clock

but when your pretty face won't be enough

now won't you want you won't you want you don't you want you don't you want to
