Blacking Out lyrics - Barenaked Ladies

I'd be kidding myself to think that I'd be any use to you at all

Tell me something I don't know

Just another notch in your belt is all that I would end up being so

Tell me something I don't know

Any lesson you learn

Is gone in a moment

You know you'll probly get burned

But here you go like you own it

And you give it all that you're worth

Make it loud in hopes that you're heard

With your deepest guts just strewn and spilling out

With a little finesse I might have wound up somewhere better than the floor

Tell me something I don't know

I'm a bit of a mess but tucked in brushed off I look somewhat like before

Tell me something I don't know

Any lesson you learn

Is gone again with the moment

You call her name as she turns

You know you've already blown it

Still you give it all that you're worth

Say it loud in hopes that you're heard

With your deepest guts just strewn and spilling out

And you know that you'll never win

So you take your lumps on the chin

And you're still smilin' as you're blacking out

And you give it all that you're worth

Make it loud in hopes that you're heard

With your deepest guts just strewn and spilling out

Cause you know that you'll never win

So you drop your hands and you grin

And you're still smilin' as you're blacking out
