Vicious lips, please stop hurtin' me.
Wicked eyes, don't you look that way.
Sharpened tongue, please turn soft again.
Tell me you don't mean the hurtin' things you say.
Well, I thought that I was over you
and oh-so strong,
that I didn't mind the hurtin' things you said.
Now I look at you
and realize I'm oh-so wrong.
Hurtin' words will bring me down instead.
Closed-up ears, can't you understand?
Hardened heart, open up your door.
Mournful girl, let me be your man.
Don't you think I know
what you are longin' for?
Don't you think I'm wise enough
to know just how you feel?
Don't you think I know
the thoughts behind your frown?
Take this hand that I reached out
and let our dream be real
Little girl, now please don't put me down
Don't you think I'm wise enough
to know just how you feel?
Don't you think I know
the thoughts behind your frown?
Take this hand that I reached out
and let our dream be real
Little girl, now please don't put me down
Vicious lips, please stop hurtin' me
Wicked eyes, don't you look that way
Sharpened tongue, please turn soft again
Tell me you don't mean the hurtin' things you say
