(Alexander)

Don't know what it is you want from me, babe

Don't know what song it is I'm supposed to play

But even though I'm singing out of key, babe

I mean every single word I say

In a minor way, in a minor way

I know those little words I haven't spoken

Have driven better men than I insane

I see no need to fix what isn't broken

The two of us have such a winning game

In a minor way, in a minor way

In a minor way

You're nearly always on my mind

I love you almost all the time

I absolutely for the most part can say

In a minor way

Better would be hard to find

So tell me that you'll always stay

In a minor way

Subtract reality from expectation

Subtract a little more from what is left

Add a bit of me to your equation

A winning formula for happiness

In a minor way, in a minor way

In a minor way

You're nearly always on my mind

I love you almost all the time

I absolutely for the most part can say

In a minor way

It isn't what you had in mind

But telling me that you'll always stay

In a minor way
