I’d never intentionally show you disrespect–
but sometimes a mood gets in the way it just depends–
why must I justify my reasons why I will never change–
I’m like a porcupine I’m sticking in your side–
I will always stay the same–

Chorus
take a chance and wash your hands –
of it all if you can–
take a chance and wash your hands –
of it all if you can–

you’re practicing up on denial when will you have it down–
other people don’t like the–
way you’re pushing them around–
its finally time to decide what to do with your life–
and will the outcome stay the same–
when you’re deciding to go will anyone really know–
if they’ll ever see you again–

take a chance and wash your hands –
of it all if you can–
take a chance and wash your hands –
of it all if you can–

and the hole that you dig yourself into–
is deeper than it seems–
and you’re feeling the need to explore while hanging on to me–
it’s time to let things go and return back home–
for there’s people missing you–
don’t miss your chance for a ride it’ll be the time of your life–
and you know you’re wanting to–

take a chance and wash your hands –
of it all if you can–
take a chance and wash your hands –
of it all if you can–
