It's like a pencil with erasers at both ends |
|
I want it all but we're dealing in percents |
|
And these activities that you have engaged in |
|
This is the politics of seeing you dance with him |
|
We began with concluding remarks |
|
Break up the pieces and examine the parts |
|
Your words always cut when their cliche |
|
But here's my knife because I came for the buffet |
|
This is the way it goes, with you a-part of it |
|
Nervously saying words that oh, so tightly fit |
|
A mark beneath the chin, uh, uh |
|
I've caught you once again |
|
It's in the way you sell every word and phrase |
|
And leaving me to know how much the meaning weighs |
|
Saying that but meaning this, uh, uh |
|
Using hands for emphasis |
|
Oh ho, oh ho |
|
Oh ho, oh ho |
|
Oh ho, oh ho |
|
Oh ho |
|
If you'd like to think that you're the best part of me |
|
But I confess there is nothing left of you here |
|
(Nothing left of you here) |
|
These parallels and silly games |
|
Hide your face and say the name |
|
Say the name, say the name |
|
This is the way it goes, with you a-part of it |
|
Nervously saying words that oh, so tightly fit |
|
A mark beneath the chin, uh, uh |
|
And I've caught you once again |
|
It's in the way you sell every word and phrase |
|
And leaving me to know how much the meaning weighs |
|
Saying that but meaning this, uh, uh |
|
Your tears for emphasis |
|
Ahhh, there's that smile again |
|
(There's that smile again) |
|
You fake it and I follow you right in |
|
What a fool I've been to fall for it each time |
|
This is the way it goes, with you a-part of it |
|
Nervously saying words that oh, so tightly fit |
|
It's in the way you sell every word and phrase |
|
And leaving me to know how much the meaning weighs |
|
This is the way it goes with you a-part of it |
|
Nervously saying words that oh, so tightly fit |
|
It's in the way you sell every word and phrase |
|
And leaving me to know how much the meaning weighs |
|
Oh ho, oh ho |
|
Oh ho, oh ho |
|
Oh ho |
|
Black dress and your eyes are telling white, white lies |
|
White, white lies |
|
Black dress and your eyes are telling white, white lies |
|
White, white lies |
