Whyd you put your dress shoes on if you didnt come to dance?
Frankly, Id be on my own if I thought Id stand a chance
Whyd you take your glasses off if you dont intend to fight?
Frankly, Id be on my own if I thought Id last the night
No screaming or fighting, no scratching or biting
Were just shaking hands goodnight
Sullen and silent, emotionally violent
I waited a while and nothing, nothing
Why say anything nice when you can say nothing at all?
Why say anything nice when you can say nothing at all?
Whyd you put your backpack on if you wont just take a hike?
Frankly, Id be out the door if you hadnt sold my bike
No fencing or sparring, no bruising or scarring
And no au revoiring yet
No communication, just alienation
Ive tried to be patient but nothing, nothing
Why say anything nice when you can say nothing at all?
Why say anything nice?
Say anything nice, a simple device
That makes everything beautiful just ordinary
Nice can come at a price, forever imbued with all this boredom
Sacrifice can only suffice when something is beautiful
After all the resentment, all the discontentment
The flowers you sent meant nothing, nothing
Why say anything nice when you can say nothing at all?
Why say anything nice when you can say nothing at all?
Why say anything nice?
You can say nothing at all
Woo hoo hoo
Nothing at all
Woo hoo hoo
You can say nothing at all
Woo hoo hoo
Nothing at all
