Lyrics

You tell me that you can't make up your mind

You've been riding fences all your life

So go ahead and build your own little boat

Won't you tell me if it floats

And if it don't, don't you cry to me

Y'tell me maybe I'd be better off on my own

Just wanna hear me tell you baby that you're wrong

So damned tired of all these constant contradictions

Baby getting your convictions

I can't make up your mind (oh no)

So why can't you just look me in the eye

The very least you owe me is goodbye

If you want a hearty

I'd give me a reason to run

If you want a love soul

Give me a reason to ride you home

You're talking of a love for heaven nothing is safe

Leaving you free in your little cave (?)

Won't you give me just a little piece of truth

It's less about me and it's more about you

So why can't you just look me in the eye

The very least you owe me is goodbye

If you want a hearty

I'd give me a reason to run

If you want a love soul

Give me a reason to ride you home

So why can't you just look me in the eye

The very least you owe me is goodbye

If you want a hearty

I'd give me a reason to run

If you want a love soul

I'd give me a reason to ride you home (2x)
