Your (?) has a hold on me
It dots my i’s and it crosses my t’s
I’m not sure what this feeling may be
She ask a favor without ever saying please

You’re cavalier and you’ll never find nothing
Worrying how you’ll get it back
I’m speaking tongues as though I mean something
When I might not actually in fact

Cause it never seems to turn out right
It never seems to turn out right
It never seems to turn out right
It never, oh it never

Running on just like your sentences
Trying to find the meaning in this
Forget the words in parentheses
I’ll stay the night I guess if you insist

Good diction always seems to take off my clothes
I wonder if I’ll get them back
When I say your name, oh I say your name

But it never seems to turn out right
It never seems to turn out right
It never seems to turn out right
Yeah it never, oh it never
It never seems to turn out right
It never seems to turn out right
It never seems to turn out right
Oh it never, oh it never
