Can't Buy A Break - Nils Lofgren

I’ve got hours to throw girl

And I throw them on you

You keep me in a cage

Your message don’t get through (x2)

Well I can’t buy a break

I said I can’t buy a beak

And when I need a friend, don’t you

That’s when I counted on you

I can’t buy a break (x2)

You ain’t so uptight (inaudible)

I wanna hide forever

I had hoped to be friends

Now it looks like never (x2)

And I can’t buy a break

I said I can’t buy a beak

And when I need a friend, don’t you

That’s when I counted on you

I can’t buy a break (x4)

It’s true

I said I can’t buy a beak

I can’t buy a break

Baby I can’t buy a break

I can’t buy a break (repeats)
