I was chewin' gum for something to do
The blinds were being pulled down on the dew
Inside, out of love, what a laugh

I was looking for you

Saxophones started blowing me down

I was buried in sound
Taxicabs were driving me around
To the handshake drugs I bought downtown

To the handshake drugs I bought downtown

They were translated poorly, I felt like a clown

I looked like someone I used to know
I felt alright
And if I ever was myself

I wasn't that night

Oh it's okay for you to say

What you want from me
I believe that's the only
Way for me to be, exactly

What you want me to be

Oh it's okay for you to say

What you want from me
I believe that's the only
Way for me to be

Exactly what you want me to be

Oh I was chewin' gum for something to do

The blinds were being pulled down on the dew
Inside, out of love, what a laugh
I was looking for you

To the handshake drugs I bought downtown


Oh it's okay for you to say

I believe that's the only
Way for me to be
Exactly what do you want me to be?

Exactly what do you want me to be?

Felt like a clown

They were translating poorly

I used to know

And if I ever was myself,
I wasn't that night


Exactly what do you want me to be?
