I was drinking beer in a barroom
When I noticed you first
You looked so funny, so I spent my money
Darling, you gave me such a thirst
We talked about your problems
And I tried to tell you mine
Maybe that's the reason you and me got out of line
We stepped to the corner
And started walking down your street
Came into a building
And it was both tall and steep
You showed me to the bathroom
Where you kept your silly grin
What you took to be the look of love, darling
It was my silly grin
It's just my way of saying thank you, baby
Thank you for what you have done
It's just my way of saying too much, honey
I begged him to run in
You made it so much fun
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah!
You sifted 'round some magazines
Smiled and said to me, "Relax, evil"
To which I replied kind of nervously
"Is there anything I can do?"
You said, "If we can't be nice
Then let's just not be nice at all"
And before them words left your lips, I grabbed my clothes
I grew quite excited
When we sat down side by side
And pretty soon you were in my arms
And I knew you'd keep me satisfied
Yeah, you said, "If we can't be nice
Then let's just not be nice at all"
Oh, before them words left your lips
I grabbed my clothes and ran down the hall
It's just my way of saying thank you, baby
Thank you for what you have done
It's just my way of saying too much, honey
I begged him to run in
You made it so much fun
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah!
And I know it was a scandal
That I treated you that way
You know, you're just one more casual damn humanic gal
Oh yes, you are, darling
But you'll survive another day
If I get my way (If I get my way!)
Wah-wah-wah-wah
Wah-wah-wah-wah
Wah-wah-wah-wah
Wah-wah-wah-wah
Me left to say you never said one word about it
The following night
Me up and trying to play a soul serenade
That just didn't seem to turn out right
I guess I put all this down
To the price that must be paid
Oh, but if I knew then what I know now
There'd be some changes made, yeah!
It's just my way of saying thank you, baby
Thank you for what you have done
It's just my way of saying too much, honey
I begged him to run in
You made it so much fun
It was definitely number one
Like looking at the sun
Like getting a shot in the head with a gun
Like, uh, looking around and doing what has to be done
Like getting up and putting a cake in the oven instead of a bun
Like looking 'round and doing what has to be done
Like just, uh, looking up, looking at the sun
Like, uh, going 'round, 'round in a bun
Like, uh, pushing up the moon with your thumb
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, baby!
