[Verse 1]
Increments of nine
Always seem to pass me by
Now I got nowhere else to hide (No)
For you, it's no sacrifice (No sacrifice, no)
Now it's one-hundred degrees (It's hot, hot, hot)
When you're standing on your feet (All on the top, top)
Hope you've come to realize (You realize)
I won't ever compromise

[Chorus]
Nein, nein, nein, n-nein (I whisper in the night), no
Nein, nein, nein, n-nein (Until the voice is you), oh
Nein, nein, nein, n-nein (I whisper in the night), no
Nein, nein, nein, n-nein (The only one is you)

[Verse 2]
And baby girl, you are a dime
But I put you at number nine
And I just want a perfect life
It's pretty vacant in your eyes

[Pre-Chorus]
I get up, I get up, I try to let it go
In this play of life, my plot's hysterical
If I'm tangled up, on the fence, just like I wish we were
The wish that never came true, but you might be the cure
[Chorus]
Nein, nein, nein, n-nein (I whisper in the night), no
Nein, nein, nein, n-nein (Until the voice is you), oh
Nein, nein, nein, n-nein (I whisper in the night), no
Nein, nein, nein, n-nein (The only one is you)

[Post-Chorus]
The wish that never came true, but you might be the cure
Nein, nein, nein, n-nein (I whisper in the night), no
Nein, nein, nein, n-nein (I tell the voices you), oh

[Pre-Chorus]
(Oh, oh, oh) Oh
I get up, I get up, I try to let it go (Oh, oh, oh)
In this play of life, my plot's hysterical (Oh, oh, oh)
If I'm tangled up, on the fence, just like I wish we were (Oh, oh, oh)
The wish that never came true, but you might be the cure (Oh, oh, oh)

[Chorus]
Nein, nein, nein, n-nein, no
Nein, nein, nein, n-nein, oh
Nein, nein, nein, n-nein, no
Nein, nein, nein, n-nein

[Outro]
The wish that never came true, but you might be the cure
