Your words are the reason I said yes, I'll strum along
You had me way before the bridge of your little song
I tried to open up your heart and make it sing along

But your heart is just a bit too mean to mean it

When Mr. Wonder sang in the key of life

He opened up waterfalls till the rivers ran dry
All I am asking you to do is mean what you say
But your heart is just a bit too mean to mean it


You know there's no reason to be this cold
Nobody said it would be platinum and gold

You know there's no reason to be this cold
I'll steal your steel heart and I'll turn it gold


So I told myself to let you go then I turned on the radio
Pretended all love songs are ones that you wrote
I searched and searched for music that would speak to my soul

But the radio didn't seem too keen to play it

Next time you share your charm I'll walk the other way

You are a beautiful voice with nothing to say
And my broken heart will listen to some blues
Try and get rid of your radio tunes
