sometimes when I lose my head

I can't make sense of what you said

but you don't mean it

or that's what you say

all the conversation seems to slip away



oh maybe you can say it better (you can say it better...better)

I can listen

people do it all the time, baby

we can make it better (we can make it better)

cause mincing words (mincing words) will never rhyme

they never rhyme



same excuses that go round and round

push them up just to knock them down

confuse the issue to shift the blame

and lose the picture like a puzzle game



you never notice if you're right or wrong (right or wrong)

it becomes a contest of the weak and the strong 

(weak and the strong, baby)

there is no reason for you to pick a fight (no, no)

when we lose heart its time to shut out the light



mmmm hmmm



oh maybe you can say it better 

(you can say it better...better)

I can listen

people do it all the time, baby

we can make it better (we can make it better)

cause mincing words (cause mincing words) 

Will never rhyme 

baby never rhyme

will never rhyme
