(Verse 1:)
You think you know but you don't
Wish I could read your mind but I can't so I won't
I wish that I could say what it is I'd like to say
Instead I've got my tongue twisted up and tied away

I'm trying to do my best
Yes I know that failure is a lesson
I've been guessing and stressing and trying to make up my decision
And oh, guess that's how life goes

Every time I want poetry she wants prose-
I'm too slow
I'm trying to pick it up though
Is it me you're really into?
No it's me you feel sorry for

(Hook:)
This is out of control
Why can't I ever I get it though?
Damn, why can't I ever it though?

This is out of control
Why can't I ever I get it though?
Damn, why can't I ever it though?
(Verse 2:)
At least I got my brains, at least I got my wit
Watch me go on over, see the conversation slip
I'm feeling kinda twisted and yes I'm kinda sick
I try to counter, man I wish that I could hit and never miss girl

Yeah you know that things ain't easy
Try to understand and believe me
Yes I want the real thing
Oh girl, I want the real thing baby
