Why'd you put your dress shoes on if you didn't come to dance?
|
Frankly, I'd be on my own if I thought I'd stand a chance
|
Why'd you take your glasses off if you don't intend to fight?
|
Frankly, I'd be on my own if I thought I'd last the night
|
|
No screaming or fighting, no scratching or biting
|
We're just shaking hands goodnight
|
Sullen and silent, emotionally violent
|
I waited a while and nothing, nothing
|
|
Why say anything nice when you can say nothing at all?
|
Why say anything nice when you can say nothing at all?
|
|
Why'd you put your backpack on if you won't just take a hike?
|
Frankly, I'd be out the door if you hadn't sold my bike
|
|
No fencing or sparring, no bruising or scarring
|
And no 'au revoiring' yet
|
No communication, just alienation
|
I've tried to be patient but nothing, nothing
|
|
Why say anything nice when you can say nothing at all?
|
Why say anything nice?
|
|
Say anything nice, a simple device
|
That makes everything beautiful just ordinary
|
Nice can come at a price, forever imbued with all this boredom
|
Sacrifice can only suffice when something is beautiful
|
|
After all the resentment, all the discontentment
|
The flowers you sent meant nothing, nothing
|
|
Why say anything nice when you can say nothing at all?
|
Why say anything nice when you can say nothing at all? (Why say anything nice?...)
|
You can say nothing at all
|
Woo-hoo-hoo
|
Nothing at all
|
Woo-hoo-hoo
|
You can say nothing at all
|
Woo-hoo-hoo
|
Nothing at all
|
