Well I've been drinking for days and I'm happy to say   That we've been leading you on so you'd do it our way   You've had a little success but aren't too hard to impress   So raise your standards, change your number   It's for the best      And though I don't want you to stay   There's something about the way that   You say the words that you've rehearsed now   I think I should explain   Things aren't gonna change   And last October when it took over   The boy was grabbed by his new controller   I'm shifting all the blame   But I still feel the same      I didn't know what to say when I saw you alone   You say you do what you want but you do what you're told   I fell in love with your gaze, I fell in love with your name   We need to know what to say if we're playing your games      And though I don't want you to stay   There's something about the way that   You say the words that you've rehearsed now   I think I should explain   Things aren't gonna change   And last October when it took over   The boy was grabbed by his new controller   I'm shifting all the blame   But I still feel the same, yeah      And though it makes no difference I still know that   It's got nothing to do with the way I am around you   It's got nothing to do with the way I am around you
