[Verse 1]
|
It's like a pencil with erasers at both ends
|
I want it all but we're dealing in percents
|
And these activities that you have engaged in
|
This is the politics of seeing you dance with him
|
We began with concluding remarks
|
Pick up the pieces and examine the parts
|
Your words always cut when they're clichAⓒ
|
But here's my knife because I came for the buffet
|
|
[Chorus]
|
This is the way it goes
|
With you a part of it
|
Nervously saying words
|
That oh-so-tightly fit
|
A mark beneath the chin (Uh Uh)
|
I've caught you once again
|
It's in the way you sell every word and phrase
|
And leaving me to know how much the meaning weighs
|
Saying that but meaning this (Uh Uh)
|
Using hands for emphasis
|
(Oh Ho) [x7]
|
|
[Verse 2]
|
You'd like to think that you're the best part of me
|
But I confess there is nothing left of you here (nothing left of you here)
|
These parallels and silly games
|
Hide your face and say the name
|
Say the name (say the name)
|
|
[Chorus]
|
This is the way it goes
|
With you a part of it
|
Nervously saying words
|
That oh-so-tightly fit
|
A mark beneath the chin (Uh Uh)
|
And I've caught you once again
|
It's in the way you sell every word and phrase
|
And leaving me to know how much the meaning weighs
|
Saying that but meaning this (Uh Uh)
|
Your tears for emphasis
|
|
[Bridge]
|
(Ahhhh)
|
There's that smile again (there's that smile again)
|
You fake it and I follow you right in
|
What a fool I've been
|
To fall for it each time
|
|
[Chorus]
|
This is the way it goes
|
With you a part of it
|
Nervously saying words
|
That oh-so-tightly fit
|
It's in the way you sell every word and phrase
|
And leaving me to know how much the meaning weighs
|
This is the way it goes
|
With you a part of it
|
Nervously saying words
|
That oh-so-tightly fit
|
It's in the way you sell every word and phrase
|
And leaving me to know how much the meaning weighs
|
(Oh Ho) [x5]

|
That dress and those eyes are telling white white lies
|
White white lies
|
That dress and those eyes are telling white white lies
|
White white lies
