lyrics

'Show-Me' State

I like what you're wearing ...
I've seen your type before, so dark ... and uncaring.
You walk around like you own this town.
Well, if you don't ,you should, you appeal to a part of me nobody else has understood.

Now I've got her in a show-me state.
Don't make your mind up, honey, well, you've got enough to make them wait.
I took the airhead to the woodshed to make amends.
Sometimes .... you just can't be friends.
Oh no ... it's best to let it end.

Get around to my side of town, I'm not hard to find.
Make this next job last, use your bus pass, show me in, I'll lend you mine.
I think some people don't know why they criticize how we live our lives,
no one's satisfied.

Now I've got her in a show-me state.
Don't make your mind up, baby, well, you've got enough to make them wait.
I like it when you braid your hair, I just stood and stared, I felt like giving up,
like a fool I fell in love.
It's best to let it end.

I had her beside me... so long ago.
Yeah, she could confide in me. Now look how she goes.
No, I don't trust anyone ... no I don't trust anyone.
(Her most of all.)
No,no,no, no more friends ... I'll just let it end.
I'm happy to just let it end.
I've done all that I can ...
I said, "what can you show me I haven't seen before?"
Then she showed me the door.
