Oh!
What the
What the, was that?
You burden me with your questions
You'd have me tell no lies
You're always asking what it's all about
But don't listen to my replies
You say to me I don't talk enough
But when I do I'm a fool
These times I've spent, I've realized
I'm going to shoot through
And leave you
The things, you say
Your purple prose just give you away
The things, you say
You're unbelievable
Oh!
What the
What the, was that?
You burden me with your problems
By telling me more than mine
I'm always so concerned
With the way you say
You always have to stop
To think of us being one
Is more than I ever know
But this time, I realize
I'm going to shoot through
And leave you
The things, you say
Your purple prose just give you away
The things, you say
You're unbelievable
Oh!
What the
One
What the
One
What the
One
What the, was that?
Seemingly lastless
Don't mean you can ask us
Pushing down the relative
Bringing out your higher self
Think of the fine times
Pushing down the better few
Instead of bringing out the clues
To what the world and everything you answer to
Brace yourself with the greatest of ease
I know this world ain't what it seems
What the, was that?
It's unbelievable
You burden me with your questions
You'd have me tell no lies
You're always asking what it's all about
And don't listen to my replies
You say to me I don't talk enough
But when I do I'm a fool
These times I've spent, I've realized
I'm going to shoot through
And leave you
The things, you say
Your purple prose just give you away
The things, you say
In thought I love you more
The things, you say
Your purple prose just give you away
The things, you say
You're unbelievable
Oh!
What the
One
What the
You're so unbelievable
One
What the
One
What the
You're unbelievable
It's unbelievable
Oh!
What the
One
What the
One
What the
What the, was that?
You're unbelievable
