<< That's Just What You Are >>
|
--- Aimee Mann
|
|
In our endeavor we are never seeing eye to eye
|
No guts to sever so forever may we wave goodbye
|
And you're always telling me that it's my turn to move
|
When I wonder what could make the needle jump the groove
|
I won't fall for the oldest trick in the book
|
So don't sit there and think you're off of the hook
|
By saying there is no use changing 'cause
|
|
That's just what you are
|
That's just what you are
|
|
Acting steady always ready to defend your fears
|
What's the matter with the truth, did I offend your ears
|
By suggesting that a change might be a thing to try
|
Like it would kill you just to try and be a nicer guy
|
It's not like you would lose some critical piece
|
If somehow you moved point A to point B
|
Maintaining there is no point changing 'cause
|
|
That's just what you are
|
That's just what you are
|
|
Now I could talk to you till I'm blue in the face
|
But we still would arrive at the very same place
|
With you running around and me out of the race
|
|
-very cool keyboard (Mellotron?) solo-
|
|
So maybe you're right, nobody can take
|
Something older than time and hope you could make
|
It better, that would be a mistake
|
So take it just so far
|
|
'Cause that's just what you are
|
That's just what you are
|
That's just what you are
|
|
Acting steady always ready to defend your fears
|
What's the matter with the truth, did I offend your ears
|
You're like a sleepwalking man, it's a danger to wake you
|
Even when it is apparent where your actions will take you
|
|
That's just what you are
|
And that's just what you are
|
That's just what you are
|
That's just what you are
|
