Answer Song

(album: Words And Music By Saint Etienne - 2012)

He already knows
There's something on her mind
And he'd give her the world
But she stumbles every time

It's so hard 'cause he
Wants her always
She believes him, says
Maybe someday

I'll get an answer for you, baby
I'll get an answer for you soon
No one should settle for a maybe
I'll get an answer for you soon

I've made my mistakes
I've played for high stakes
And I know when I make up my mind
Then I've made up my mind

When I do
I'll not waver
When I do
They'll be true
If I do

He's used to it all
Still he's lonesome tonight
She's been burned before
But that doesn't make it right

Time is drifting, still
She won't tell him
He'll just walk on by
As she tells him

I'll get an answer for you, baby
I'll get an answer for you soon
No one should settle for a maybe
I'll get an answer for you soon

I've made my mistakes
I've played for high stakes
And I know when I make up my mind
Then I've made up my mind

When I do
I'll not waver
When I do
They'll be true
If I do
