Listen baby to what I say -
You only want what you've thrown away
Broken tables, you're unstable

(Looks like someone has won) These pirate games
(I'm loading up your gun) And ready to take all the blame

(But still I play along) While sinking in sand I find
(But know, I am not moving) This checkmate is the last time

(It's just how high you climb) There's ivory in this spine
(Be cleaning up tomorrow) Keeping what you've left behind

(You need a little faith to shine) To know the sun will set
It will be dark by eight and winter's as cold as it gets

Wanna make you hear, gotta walk away
Wanna make you dance, gotta move this way
Wanna hear you breathe without a doubt
Wanna make you sing, wanna make you shout

Listen baby to what I say -
You only want what you've thrown away
Broken tables. you're unstable

Listen honey, listen well
I'm only yours soon as you get well
You're designer, nothing finer
(No, I'm not in denial) I see my violins
(It's taken you awhile) Watching all this soaking in

(Was never made of tin) Can't keep it up no more
But like it's always been, I'm sleeping underneath your door

Gotta stop my heart, it's running wild
I gotta tie a knot, no, I ain't no child

Listen baby to what I say -
You only want what you've thrown away
Broken tables, you're unstable

Listen closer, ear to a can
I'm only here under your command
Got three wishes, clean your dishes

I don't mind that baby
I don't mind that lately
If you're coming my way
I don't mind
I don't mind

I don't mind that baby
I don't mind that lately
If you're coming my way
I don't mind
I don't mind
Listen baby to what I say -
You only want what you've thrown away
Broken tables, you're unstable

Listen honey, listen well
I'm only yours soon as you get well
You're designer, nothing finer
