What Songtext
von Brendan Benson

What are you trying to do to me, girl?
I close my eyes, I don′t wanna see, girl
I don't wanna hear about you and him, girl
I don′t wanna know whose love that you're in, girl
Cause you can't possibly be serious about him, girl
And he′s got to be delirious if he thinks he can win
With a not so pretty face
He′s come to take my place
She's easily amused
And I know cause she fell for the same shit I once used
The things you say and the things you do, girl
I′ve added them up and they don't compute, girl
I give you an inch and you take a mile, girl
You couldn′t say no cause it ain't your style, girl
And it′s obvious to me that he thinks he's gonna score
But it's not the case you say you′re only friends and nothing more
But it makes perfect sense


And I speak from experience
She′s easy to persuade
She's a piece of cake and he thinks he′s got her made
You said goodbye to him a long, long time ago
You changed your mind I guess but you never let me know
You just keep me guessing, always guessing
Wrong, always wrong
Cause you can't possibly be serious about him, girl
And he′s got to be delirious if he thinks he can win
With a not so pretty face
And a poorly thrown ceramic vase
It makes perfect sense
And I speak from experience
She's easily confused
I should know cause she fell for the same tricks
I should know cause she laughed at the same jokes
I should know cause she fell for the same tricks I once used
