The surface tension mounts, I'm drawn without a trace A paper tiger in a story about face What's the time and again When I lay down the lawn I'm as soft as a flowerbed We carry on our baggage weighs us down the drain No empty promises to bring it up again A lost causing a stir All the paints on the palette of one less ex-connoiseur The horses jockey and are spurred on for the win If you want to take me out I will be there You can even take me home for an affair If you want to waste my time Then I don't care Oooo... do you? Oooo... do you? The rotten underbelly buttons up his shirt He under estimates the power of a skirt Under the moonlights with men She promises she won't break those promises again A tumble dryer sense of humorless is more When mother nature calls long distance troubadour There's a game to be won But I wonder if gaming the system is all or none Without a color commentary or a score If you want to take me out I will be there You can even take me home for an affair If you want to waste my time Then I don't care Oooo... do you? Oooo... do you?
