You Can't Stand It

from How'd We Get This Far? by The Telephone Line

lyrics

You can’t stand it, but it’s true. You can’t stand it, but it’s true

You’ve been talking dirt on everybody in your line of sight
Such a tiny dog and barking so much harder than his bite
You tell everybody else to lighten up and take a joke
This time you’re the punchline and your cool head goes up in smoke

Dish it out now, but you don’t know how to take it, no you can’t take it
You’re gonna find out, right now I won’t play that game
Baby, you can’t stand it but it’s true
Baby, you can’t stand it but it’s true
You can’t stand it, can’t stand it

Oh so many stories happen only inside of your head
All of them, in bad faith, you’re making enemies out of friends

Dish it out now, but you don’t know how to take it, no you can’t take it
You’re gonna find out right now, I won’t play that game
Baby, you can’t stand it but it’s true
Baby, you can’t stand it but it’s true
You can’t stand it, can’t stand it

Dish it out cold and then you fold under pressure
It’s getting so old, and truth be told,
I like you better with your mouth closed
Baby, you can’t stand it but it’s true
Baby, you can’t stand it but it’s true
You can’t stand it, can’t stand it
