But you
But you
And I like tea
Who needs to humor me and tell me lies
Why you wanna give me a run-around
It seems my ship still stands no matter what you drop
When I saw through the voice of a trusted friend
So what you feel becomes mine as well
And I'll lie too and say I don't mind
And there ain't a whole lot that you can do
Of a bad play where the heroes are right
That there's something left to say
About a great many things
And hollywood's calling for the movie rights
Like a nervous magician waiting in the wings
Of a phone call and of what you said
Hey baby let's keep in touch
Well all right okay
Oh yeah
Why you wanna give me a run-around
And as we seek so shall we find
Of what will be with you and me
I could not believe my eyes
I'd like to be able to enter a final plea
Is it a sure-fire way to speed things up
I still can see things hopefully
Is it a sure-fire way to speed things up
Like a game show contestant with a parting gift
Singing hey babe let's keep in touch
What's yours and mine the fishing's fine
But not without a certain degree of fear
Oh I like coffee
I love you to the point you can no longer take
Ha la la la la bomba dear this is the pilot speaking
Is it a sure-fire way to speed things up
And nobody thinks or expects too much
And shake me and my confidence
I still got this dream that you just can't shake
And show me all the things no one else can see
When all it does is slow me down
And when you're feeling open I'll still be here
Why you wanna give me a run-around
And soon if we're lucky we'd be unable to tell
And I've got some news for you
But you
Why you wanna give me a run-around
So be that way
Perhaps I've grown a little cynical
Yes, my cup shall always be full
I couldn't escape the memory
When all it does is slow me down
Is it a sure-fire way to speed things up
But I want more than a touch I want you to reach me
Yes humor me and tell me lies
But I've been there I can see it cower
And it doesn't have to rhyme so don't you feed me a line
When all it does is slow me down
I shall drink in and always be full
But I know no matter what the waitress brings
But you
Oh sure the banner may be torn and the wind's gotten colder
I hope and pray
