The deception with tact Just what are you trying to say You've got a blank face which irritates Communicate pull out your party piece
You see dimensions in two State your case in black or white And when one little bump Leads to shock miss a beat You run for cover so discreet
(Chorus) Why don't they do what they say Say what you mean One thing leads to another You told me something's wrong I know I listen too long but than One thing leads to another
The impression that you sell Passes in and out like a scent But the long face that you see Comes from living close to your fears If this is up, than I'm up Are you running out of sight You see your name up in lights And when one little bump Leads to shock miss a beat You run for cover in this heat
(Chorus) Why don't they do what they say Say what you mean One thing leads to another You told me something's wrong You know I listen too long but than One thing leads to another yeah, yeah, yeah
And it's easy to believe That somebody's been lying to me But when the wrong word goes in the right ear I know you've been lying to me It's getting rough, off the cuff I've got to say enough's enough Bigger the harder he falls But when the wrong antidote Like a bulge on the throat You run for cover in the heat
(Chorus) Why don't they do what they say Say what you mean One thing leads to another You told me something's wrong You know I listen too long but than One thing leads to another yeah
