(note: Gavin said he wrote this song on the tour bus on September 2, 2004. I don't know the actual name of the song.)

You got to treat each one like they wanna be treated
Give each one special needs if they need it
Good ones don't lie
Babies don't trick
A few will get ruined
But we're all kinda sick
And its not as if your egos defeated

They say tell me
They say tell me, no
They say hold me
They say touch me, no
I've got my needs
Not that they need you
You say you need
I say help me
Help me yeh

I give my soul to the hand that dealt me
Give my hand to the souls who tell me
Paperback lives
Paperback views
Some go down and some of us loose
And it's not for me to know who's which way

They say tell me
They say tell me no
They say hold me
They say touch me no
I've got my needs
Not that they need you
You say you need
I say help me
Help me yeh

You're the house and I'm the cellar
You're the landlord I'm the dweller
You take your time
I'll take the rest
Sometimes hell is as good as it gets
And we're the best thing we got goin

They say tell me
They say tell me no
They say hold me
They say touch me no
I've got my needs
Not that they need you
You say you need
I say help me

You say tell
You say tell me no
I say hold me
You say touch me no
I got my needs
I've been nearly you
I've seen too many
