Act Surprised

(album: Here's To Shutting Up - 2001)

Standing stunned in the hall
While you fumble with your lighter
And I could make sure you recall
But I'm a lover not a fighter

And it's a wonder that you're here
And it's a wonder that I'm still waiting
Well, act surprised
Act surprised now, baby

Drop your delivery, uh uh oh
Drop your delivery, uh uh oh
Hold still and look at me in the eyes

Well, I always loved your accent
Thick though it was
Like you just got back from somewhere
And you could not adjust

And it's a wonder that you're here
And it's a wonder that I'm still waiting
Act surprised
Act surprised now, baby

Drop your delivery, uh uh oh
Drop your delivery, uh uh oh
Perk up that stony face with any little smile

The least you could do, the least you could do
The least you could do, the least you could do

Drop your delivery, uh uh oh
Drop your delivery, uh uh oh
Hold still and look at me in the eyes
And act surprised

Drop your delivery, uh uh oh
Drop your delivery, uh uh oh
Hold still and look at me in the eyes
