Mixed Signals

I tried your number at 9 but to no avail

Tried again at 11, got sent straight to voicemail

You said you needed a calm quiet night alone

But that don't explain why you're not picking up the phone

Now I'm driving through the city like a bullet in my seat

And I hold my breath when I hit your street

You were restless when you told me everything was alright

One quiet night alone

And nothing is wrong

How come you're not home when it's almost 3 AM

When you decide to show

You're gonna tell me where you've been

Don't spare me the details, I wanna know

What does he look like?

What does he talk like?

Thought you wanted to make this work

But you're sending me mixed signals

With no other emotion, you greet me and I'm overcome

'Cause your body language is speaking in another tongue

First you tell me that you needed some excitement in your life

Then you grab the handle and turn the knife

Accusations, I'm obsessive, misbehaving like we ain't

Been down to hell and back

And made it through

I thought that was you

When it's almost 3 AM

When you decide to show

You're gonna tell me where you've been

Don't spare me the details, I wanna know

What does he look like?

What does he talk like?

Thought you wanted to make this work

But you're sending me mixed signals

And in the dusk we fall apart

The sun's got his elbow

In the ribcage of town

I'm breaking down

And it's almost 3 AM

When you decide to show

You're gonna tell me where you've been

Don't sugarcoat it girl, I want the blow by blow

What does he look like?

What does he talk like?

Thought you wanted to make this work

But you're sending me mixed signals

Yeah, sending me mixed signals

Darling, darling believe me

Know that, know you don't need me

Wake up, you know I want you there

Sweetheart, let me down easy

Cut me loose, baby don't tease me

Oh Lord, let me down easy

Sending me mixed signals
