Tentative Decisions
[Intro]
Now that I can release my tension
Let me make clear my best intention
Girls ask, "Can I define decision?"
Boys ask, "Can I describe their function?"
[Verse 1]
Oh, the boys wanna talk
Would like to talk about those problems
And the girls say they're concerned, that they are
Concerned with decisiveness
And it's a hard logic to follow and the girls get lost
And the boys say they're concerned, that they are
Concerned with decisiveness
[Pre-Chorus]
(I wanna talk) I wanna talk as much as I want
(I'm gonna give) I'm gonna give the problem to you
(I wanna talk) I wanna talk as much as I want
(I'm gonna give) I'm gonna give the problem to you
[Chorus]
Decide, decide, make up your mind
Decide, decide, I told you what to say
Confuse, confuse, describe what I found
Confuse, confuse, I told you what to say
[The printed lyrics end here with the instruction "Repeat with reversal of gender."]
[Verse 2]
Oh, the girls still want to talk
Would like to talk about those problems
And the boys say they're concerned, that they are
Concerned with decisiveness
And it's a hard logic I know and the girls get lost
And the boys say they're concerned, that they are
Concerned with decisiveness
[Pre-Chorus]
(I wanna talk) I wanna talk as much as I want
(I'm gonna give) I'm gonna give the problem to you
(I wanna talk) I wanna talk as much as I want
(I'm gonna give) I'm gonna give the problem to you
[Chorus]
Decide, decide, make up your mind
Decide, decide, I told you what to say
Confuse, confuse, describe what I found
Confuse, confuse, I told you what to say
