The New You

(album: Look What I Almost Stepped In... - 2000)

Well now you say that you like me, but you don't "like" like me
And you say that you love me but you're not "in" love with me
And we should just be friends
But friends shouldn't treat other friends like that
You're not too friendly when you act like that

Every time I call the old you, the new you answers the phone
I would like to talk to old you, but the new you says you're not home

Whatever happened to that girl I knew, she was just like you
But way more into me
Lately you've been acting strange, or going through a phase
Why's it gotta be like that?

The old you dug me, but the new you snubs me, and asks me to go away
But I ain't going away

Every time I call the old you, the new you answers the phone
I would like to talk to old you, but the new you says you're not home

I've been so patient and I'm giving you space, I haven't called all day
But you're still not coming around
You've made a big mistake that's not a threat
No matter how it sounds

Things were going so great, but as of late you haven't much to say
The old you loved me, but the new you snubs me, and asks me to go away
But I ain't going away

Every time I call the old you, the new you answers the phone
I would like to talk to old you, but the new you says you're not home

Well now you say that you like me, but you don't "like" like me
And you say that you love me but you're not "in" love with me
And we should just be friends
But friends shouldn't treat other friends like that
You're not too friendly when you act like that
Should I smash your fucking head with a baseball bat?
And dig around the brains and the goo
For something that looks like old you

Every time I call the old you, the new you answers the phone
I would like to talk to old you, but the new you says you're not home

You say that you love me but you're not "in" love with me...
