What Songtext

von Brendan Benson

What are you trying to do to me
I closed my eyes I dont want to see
I dont want to hear about you and him
I just want to know if its love that youre in

Coz you cant possibly be serious about him girl
And hes got to be delirious if he thinks he can win

With a not-so-pretty face
Hes come to take my place
Shes easily amused
And I know coz she fell for the same tricks
I once used

The things you say and the things you do
Ive added them up and they dont compute
I give you an inch and you take a mile
You cant say no coz it aint your style girl

And its obvious to me that he thinks hes gonna score
But its not the case you say youre only friends and nothing more

But it makes perfect sense
And I speak from experience
Shes easy to persuade
Shes a piece of cake and he
Thinks
Hes got her made

You said goodbye to him a long
Long time ago
You changed your mind I guess
But you never let me know
You keep me guessing Im always guessing wrong
Always wrong

With a not-so-pretty face
And a poorly thrown ceramic
Vase
It makes perfect sense
And I speak from experience
Shes easily confused
