Today, everything was fine
Until roundabout, quarter to nine
I suddenly found myself in a bind
Was it something I said? Something I read
and manifested that's getting you
down
Don't you dare come to bead with that ambiguous look in your eye
I'd sooner sleep with an open fire and wake up fried
Say what you will, say what you mean
You could never offend, your dirty words come out clean
Tomorrow, what price shall I pay?
Could I make it all up to you
by serving coffee for two in bed?
Would you then gimme the time of day?
I need a map of your head, translated into English
so I can learn to not make you frown
You'd feel better if you'd vent, put your
frustrations into four letter words
and let them out on mine, the most
weathered ears in town
So say what you will, say what
you mean
You could never offend, your dirty words
come out clean
