You say that I ask too much of you
But I disagree
You say I don’t understand the angles of
You and me
I try to play things straight, but there you go
Now I can’t look you in the eye
I can’t stand all the things I have to do
To appeal to your wounded pride
Now you may look like honey
But you ain’t ever gonna be sweet to me
And though you may think I can be kind of funny
Well, that ain’t enough to be keeping me
You say that sometimes I walk too close
And no you won’t hold my hand
I’m tryin’ so very hard to cope,
Why won’t you understand?
I’m not trying to settle down,
I just wanna lay here in your arms a little while
I can’t stand all the things I have to do
To live in this perfect state of denial
Now you may look like honey
But you ain’t ever gonna be sweet to me
And though you may think I can be kind of funny
Well, that ain’t enough to be keeping me
But every time I get up and try to walk away
You say please stay
Don’t leave me here all alone…
But how am I supposed to try
To put away my peace of mind
And give it all up so I can just
Wait by the phone?
Now you may look like honey
But you ain’t ever gonna be sweet to me
And though you may think I can be kind of funny
Well, that ain’t enough to be keeping me
