Lyrics

[Verse 1]

I was chewing gum for something to do

The blinds were being pulled down on the dew

Inside out of love, what a laugh

I was looking for you

[Verse 2]

The saxophones started blowing me down

I was buried in sound

And taxi cabs were driving me around

To the handshake drugs I bought downtown

To the handshake drugs I bought downtown

[Verse 3]

They were translating poorly, I felt like a clown

I looked like someone I used to know

I felt alright

And if I ever was myself, I wasn't that night

[Chorus]

Oh, it's okay for you to say what you want from me

I believe that's the only way for me to be

Exactly what you want me to be

[Chorus]

Oh, it's okay for you to say what you want from me

I believe that's the only way for me to be

Exactly what you want me to be

[Verse 4]

I was chewing gum for something to do

The blinds were being pulled down on the dew

Inside out of love, what a laugh

I was looking for you

[Verse 5]

The saxophones started blowing me down

I was buried in sound

And taxi cabs were driving me around

To the handshake drugs I bought downtown

To the handshake drugs I bought downtown

[Chorus]

Oh, it's okay for you to say what you want from me

I believe that's the only way for me to be

Exactly what do you want me to be?

[Chorus]

Oh, it's okay for you to say what you want from me

I believe that's the only way for me to be

Exactly what do you want me to be?

Exactly what do you want me to be?
