[Verse 1]
Hey Mr. Garbage Man
This might sound strange, I understand
Mr. Garbage Man, I have a special request
If it ain't too much to ask
You see me lying in the gutter?
Soul broken, woman found another
Now my body's just an empty shuck
So why don't you pick it up and put it in your garbage truck?

[Verse 2]
Don't think you can salvage parts and take 'em to the scrapyard
Sell 'em and make a dime, no, no, no, no
All of me is worthless
So don't you waste your time
Hey Mr. Garbage Man, can't you hear me callin'?
Dump this body 'cause it ain't no use for nothing
It might sound strange, but it ain't no lie
Let me tell you why

[Chorus]
What good are these arms
If I can't wrap them around you?
What good is this mind
That can only think about you?
What use are these hands if I can't use them to hold you?
Take out these eyes if I can't lay them upon you
Take out my heart if I can't use it to love you

[Verse 3]
No, I ain't trying to upset you
Mr. Garbage Man says, "I called someone to get you"
Mr. Inquirer don't understand the situation
Take me down to the police station
Lock me to a ball and chain
Take my money, oh, take my name
Donate my body to the institute of science
Oh, baby, I don't mind, no, no

[Chorus]
What good are these arms
If I can't wrap them around you?
What good is this mind
That's only trying to forget you?
What use are these hands if I can't use them to hold you
Take out these eyes if I can't lay them upon you?
Take my heart if I can't use it to love you

[Instrumental Break]

[Chorus]
What good are these hands
If I can't use them to hold you?
What good are these legs
If I can't use them to walk towards you?
Away with these bones
If I can't use them to bone you
Away with these eyes if I can't lay them upon you
Take out my heart if I can't use it to love you
