Written November-December 17, 1998

People need people
Life is a canvas; our sweat is the paint
Lovers need lovers
Perhaps you would like to file a complaint
But I don't think it matters what you say
Say it anyway

People need winners
Bow to the King till the new one is crowned
Lovers need losers
Ain't too much fun without one around
But I know it isn't everything
It's the only thing

(Bridge)
I've got myself into a sticky situation
How will I extricate myself from this?
I've started handing out Christmas evaluations
To help ensure that I get bigger and better Christmas gifts

(Chorus)
In the midnight hour my eyes are ready to explode
I guess I'm suffering from some sort of emotional overload
There's seven million ways
Out of this maze
But you were right all along
It's just another way for me to say that I was wrong
Cause I was wrong

People need reasons
Meetings are scheduled, memos are sent
Lovers need timing
Write it all down in your next document
But I don't think it matters what you say
Say it anyway

(Bridge)
I've got myself into a sticky situation
How will I extricate myself from this?
Your days would be better spent in my imagination
Unless you plan to dedicate your life to the pursuit of my happiness

(Chorus)
When I feel empowered that's when I know my mind's offline
Cause I don't have the arrogance to assume I'm so divine
There is but one way
Into this maze
And you were right all along
It's just another way for me to say that I was wrong
Cause I was wrong
