De-Lovely - As a Matter of Fact Lyrics

You speak so matter of fact
You speak so matter of fact when you say you know just what you want
Now, you're saying it's the healthier way
But I remember just the other day when I was all you wanted

But your eyes say more than enough for me
Your lips say times have gotten real rough
Your eyes say more than enough for me
But I don't forget when I'm in love, love, love

You speak so matter of fact
You change your mind
Could you change it back?
Because I still know just what I want
Yeah, I'm sure there's a healthier way
It worked before so it'll work today
Yeah, I still know just what you want

And your eyes say more than enough for me
They haven't changed too much in all these years
They're telling me how guarded, how scarred they are
But they're not telling me what I want to hear

It's killing me, killing me
You can speak plainly
Cause I could be patient
And I'd give you everything
Or at least I'd try
It's killing me, killing me
And it's so slowly
Can't forget what you told me
So matter of fact, said you weren't mine
Just some of the time
And I'm tired of trying
