Problems Songtext

von Joe Walsh

Hey, hey
Hey now, did you make a problem?
Didn't want to solve
Until you do, you do
That's the thing about 'em
Still got 'em
Problems
Seem so small
They can tower over you
Pile up, build a wall
Around you, surround you
Oh, and how

When you finally think they're through
Do they follow, follow?
I wonder who
Can solve my problems
Oh, how 'bout 'em?

Problems can wait, problems get solved
Problems relate, problems revolve
Around tense situations, tense situations left unresolved
Somethin' comes up, you get involved
In justifications of foreign relations
That have nothin' to do
No, nothin' at all
With the problem

Hey hey
Hey hey

Hey now, did you ever have one?
Have a problem
That you could not solve?
What did you do
About 'em?
What did you do?
Did you try and close your eyes?
Put the blame on someone else?
But the problem follows you
Around and 'round, up and down
Until it takes up all your time
'Til it starts to bother you
'Til you start to lose your mind
Your problems, they love it
When you do, they do too

Problems that wait never get solved
Problems relate to and problems revolve
Around tense situations, tense situations left unresolved
When somethin' comes up, don't you get involved
In contradictions, fictional friction
That has nothin' to do, no, no, nothin' at all
With the problem

Hey now, did you ever have one?
Have a problem
That you could not solve?
That's the thing about 'em
Problems
