Problem Child Songtext
von Ben Harper

My glass is half empty
You hand me a smaller cup
Then you resent me when there′s not enough
One drop is as dangerous as a vial
We've got a problem
We′ve got a problem child

I don't gamble like I used to
Got nothing left to spare
You practice deep breathing
But I don't come up for air
I might lose you
With one turn of the dial
Got a problem
Ooh, got a problem child


Days pass as the Lord intended
Suffering aside, this can′t go on
But we can′t say goodbye
I know we used to
But it's been a while
It′s a problem, problem child

Bygones go by
But they're never gone
Need a new way to heal
One that doesn′t take so long
One that's not so hard to reconcile
A problem, a problem child

In the streets with ill-intention
Running from the law
Filed an extension
For my fundamental flaw
All along they′ve been keeping a file
For the problem, problem child

Problem child
