you should get your story straight, before i start to doubt it
cause if you've worn your lipstick off i wanna hear about it
and telling me would be such a breeze, say it if you want to leave
i think i'm getting the drift,
you want some time with your friends, on the nights and weekends
you take the time for yourself both of us used to spend
before you make it better, before you make it worse
1st things 1st

i don't think it's an accident, you treat me like a dummy
hold on, hold on
well i've been asking for the truth, at least just tell me something
hold on, hold on
and telling me would be such a breeze
let me know, don't let me be
it's almost too easy
i'm holding you by the hand, more like the nape of your neck
why dont you draw up a list you have to frequently check?
and put some things in order and lose it in your purse

i'm holding you by the hand, more like the nape of your neck
well what your trouble is, you have to frequently check
and put some things in order and lose it in your purse
1st things 1st

you spend all that time with your friends on every night and weekend
you take the time for yourself both of us used to spend
before you make it better, before you make it worse
