Aimee Mann - Put Me On Top

I should be knocking on the door of the pearly gates


Why keep a poor man alive in a job he hates


I’ve heard that good things will come to he who waits


I should be riding on a float in the hit parade


Instead of sitting on the curb behind the barricade


Another verse in the doormat serenade





Won’t you put me on top


Won’t you put me on topor change the odds


Won’t you put me on top


Or at least put some hope in the bottom of the box





Ohat least put some hope in the box for me


’cause it’s only black and white and not a lot of each


There’s a remote on the shelfbut it’s out of reach





Won’t you put me on top


Won’t you put me on topor change the odds


Won’t you put me on top


Or at least put some hope in the bottom of the box





Put some hope in the bottom of the box


I need it
