Today, everything was fine,
Until roundabout,
Quarter to nine.
I suddenly found myself in a bind,
Was it something I said?
Something I read and manifested,
That's getting you down?
Don't you dare come to bed
With that ambiguous look in your eye,
I'd sooner sleep by an open fire
And wake up fried!
[Chorus:]
Say what you will,
Say what you mean,
You could never offend,
Your dirty words come out clean.
Tomorrow, what price will I pay?
Could I make it all up to you
By serving coffee for two in bed?
Would you then gimme the time of day?
I need a map of your head
Translated into English
So I can learn not to make you frown…
You'd feel better if you'd vent,
Put your frustrations
Into four letter words.
And let them out on mine
The most weathered ears in town.
[Chorus:]
Say what you will,
Say what you mean,
You could never offend,
Your dirty words come out clean.
