“What Do You Want Me To Say” by The Dismemberment Plan
I lost my membership card to the human race
So don’t forget the face,
because I know that I do belong here
Go down the checklist, let’s see:
Feelings are good,
dishonesty is bad,
and keeping it inside is worse still
You want a problem, well I guess we got one now
I really don’t know how
There’s injuns over every goddamn hill
What do you want me to say?
What do you want me to do,
to let you know that I do mean it?
What do you want me to say?
What do you want me to do,
to let you know that I do mean it?
What do you want me to say?
I see it coming from a million miles away
What else can I say?
The only way you know I love you
And there’s no eye-to-eye, just Moses on the mount,
or I’m in for the count
You need your man above or below you
I cannot cry at will but I do wish I could,
‘cause it’d do you some good,
when every joke I make is treason
There was a time when you could make me laugh at will,
and you can do it still,
but never is it for the right reasons
What do you want me to say?
What do you want me to do,
to let you know that I do mean it?
What do you want me to say?
What do you want me to do,
to let you know that I do mean it?
What do you want me to say?
What do you want to hear,
to let you know that I do mean it?
What do you want me to say?
