After Jack decides to stay with Ruthie, he cannot help but feel that he is settling. Jack feels powerless in the relationship and loses all hope to assert any type of masculinity, resulting in frustration and loss.
lyrics
Woman
I'm down on my hands and knees
Woman
You take whatever you please
Woman
I thought that you needed me
To help you tell the forest from the trees.
Woman
You want to talk, of course
Woman
I talk until I am hoarse
Woman
What's wrong with old brute force?
'Cause you joined the dots and lost me - source.
(Chorus)
I got my head to the brick, to the brick, to the brick.
Woman
I gave it all to you
Woman
Now I have come unglued
Woman
I feel like I'm being used
'Cause you took my job, my place, my status, too.
Woman
You want to see me grow
Woman
Watch conversation flow
Woman
I'll reap what I have sewn
But I fail, and fail, and fail - it's all I know.
Chorus
Bridge:
"Oh boy, what's the confusion?
You seemed a bit stressed of late.
Oh boy, we're the solution.
There's no need to compensate."
But I won't go without a fight.
Don't you know that might makes right?
I spin my wheels as you take flight
On a web so vast, no end in sight.
