Sweet Talk

(album: Small Steps, Heavy Hooves - 2007)

Speak dumb like every other one
Don't want to let you down
I'd rather let you fall apart
And so you back off
A bit less obvious
Oh you forgot I called
Won't take it personal, personal, honey

I know, you've just been busy or
You need to be alone
Well you can call me if you're bored
I'll sing a song low
Over the telephone
In lower decibels
So you can hear it and hear it and hear it and hear it

And lost it though
You've lost that privilege
With a hundred more
Hold his hand now
Out on the mission field
Your hearts compatible
Mine breaks alone alone alone

Your new boyfriend
You've got your new boyfriend
You've got your new boyfriend
You've got your new boyfriend
I bet he likes you more than he likes me

'Cause I'm the former one
He's the latter one
He'd never say it but it's right

I'm sorry, that was rude of me
Forget I said a thing
But don't forget it when you're staring at him
Say something you mean
Don't be polite
Kiss, kill, nothing in between
I can't sit still, sit still
Get cancelled, can't sit still
Not when you got, you got, you got

Your new boyfriend
You've got your new boyfriend
You've got your new boyfriend
You've got your new boyfriend
I bet he likes you more than he likes me

'Cause I'm the former one
He's the latter one
He'd never say it but it's right

Passed on, up and over
Said she did
Said she gotta come on and pass me up
Let me go, throw away, let me go
Oh, it's okay not to be the same
Be the same
You've got him, oh
You've got him

Crossed out a page of names I won't say
Some state I can't name
They both mean the same thing

You've got your new boyfriend
You've got your new boyfriend
I bet he likes you more than he likes me
