Everytime I stay inside You brag about the sun There's a burden to your energy And I swear it helps no one So why do you ask me, Oh why do you ask me Turn question marks to dollar signs Why do you ask me, Oh why do you ask me When you know everything's fine, Everything's fine. What's Wrong? (Nothing's wrong with me) What's Wrong? (Never been so sick) What's Wrong? (Nothing's wrong with me) What's Wrong? (I'm fantastic) You say you need a cigarette, Only every now and then But when you lost your internet, Well you shook my hand to bet the world would end. So why do you beg me Oh why do you beg me Like I gotta be mother nature's son And why do you ask me, Oh why do you ask me, When you know that everything's fine, And I don't wanna have fun. What's Wrong? (Nothing's wrong with me) What's Wrong? (Never been so sick) What's Wrong? (Nothing's wrong with me) What's Wrong? (I'm fantastic) What's Wrong? (Everything you see) What's Wrong? (Nothing makes me tick) What's Wrong? (Nothing's wrong with me) What's Wrong? (I'm fantastic)

I see you I want you I need you I get you I think you Only you You and me forever. One day Not you It was they They were like you They say I love you They, they become you. Now they is my you You are my they They, here to stay By the way Sort of like you. Guess where we’re going now? A lovesick roundabout. And I don’t have money for flowers, No I don’t have money for flowers, And it don’t seem right Better luck next life And I count my dollars for hours, Still I don’t have money for flowers, And it don’t seem right But we made it this far, Won't you stay for just one more night Stay for just one more night You see me You want me You need me You get me You think me Only me Me and you forever. one day Not me It was him He was like me He’s going upstream I’m going downstream. He says he knows how to make a girl happy Love in the backseat Roses and ice cream Guess where we’re going now? A lovesick roundabout And I don’t have money for flowers, No I don’t have money for flowers, And it don’t seem right Better luck next life And I don’t have money for flowers No I don’t have money for flowers And it don’t seem right But we made it this far, won't you stay for just one more night You play me like puppet strings and I’ve broken out of stronger things but I can’t seem to get you right out of my mind I pretend it doesn't phase me But secretly it drives me crazy To know you're bringing home somebody this time And we don’t need money for flowers, No we don’t need money for flowers, All the leaves go dry Better luck next life And I count my dollars for hours, Still I don’t have money for flowers, And it don’t seem right But we made it this far, Won't you stay for just one more night Stay for just one more night Stay for just one more night

Every time I feel like being alone You ask for my attention Silence at the door But you came back for more It wasn’t right Every time that I hang up the phone You dial the extension Ask the operator For the strongest stuff he has under the knife Every single second's not enough for you Nobody's ever ready for love Ready for love the way that you are baby Nobody's ever ready for love Ready for love the way that you are baby Can't forget the days you picked me up And left me in suspension High above the water On a bridge that’s breaking up with every pound And I need to believe That the lord above is pleased With his invention So I'll pretend I’m weak I’ll turn the other cheek And won't make a sound Nobody's ever ready for love Ready for love the way that you are baby Nobody's ever ready for love Ready for love the way that you are baby

You're so calm now Am I in the eye of the storm now? In a little teacup in a small town You look at me and say nothing, nothing again I can't calm down Push you right inside of the storm now Kick the sand up high in the playground You look at me you say nothing, nothing again I can't deny this, love the violence when we're screaming You fake a fall then start to crawl make it an even fight My hand's on the candlelight You say come with a sharper Come with a sharper knife Make me bleed tonight Come with a sharper knife Just enjoy the fight, oh well On the upside We feel just fine till we backslide A harmless twist of my necktie So hold on tight, now we're at it, at it again I can't deny this, love the violence when we're screaming You fake a fall then start to crawl make it an even fight My hand's on the candlelight You say come with a sharper Come with a sharper knife Make me bleed tonight Come with a sharper knife Just enjoy the fight, oh well I can't speak the language Please teach me the language, yeah You say that we don't need the language And it hurts so bad
