[Verse 1]
Dog in the manger
Always a danger
You got me so, so wrong, so what? So long
Don't be a stranger
It had barely started out
Before it started heading south
In the never ending story of a love
That dare not shut its mouth

[Chorus]
I get the picture, picture
I think I get it, think, no
I think I know, no, no
I wish I didn't, still
I think I get it

[Verse 2]
Behind the curtain
We got to flirtin'
It was a gateway drug, I know, I know
It's disconcerting
Even now when I'm still driving by your house
When it's late at night and the lights are out
And I saw somebody sneaking in your side door
What are friends for, anyway?
And I'm just wondering who you think
You are fooling with such a tired myth
That says some people are better off alone
Than with a steppin' stone
[Chorus]
I get the picture, picture
I think I get it, think, ha
I think I know, no, no
I wish I didn't, still
I think I get it

[Bridge]
Why do you insist on being such a girl about it?
You said you hoped we could still be friends
I doubt it
No one owes a debt
Index finger, second fret
Another song a torch to warm the winter
Of our disconnect, now

[Verse 3]
I'm still trying to decide
Between thwarted lust and wounded pride
When I see your absence everywhere I look
And even when I close my eyes

[Outro]
I get the picture (picture!)
I think I get it (think, no!)
I think I know (no, no!)
I wish I didn't
Wish I could be cold (c-c-cold!)
Like certain people (no, no)!
Up in the mixture (no, no!)
I get the picture (still!)
I think I get it
