Lyrics
How did I come to be in this situation?
Everybody's gassing, but there's no conversation
Keep staring at the girls till my eyes begin to hurt
They just wanna talk, but I just wanna flirt
Chorus:
Everybody's talkin.
Nobody's got anything to say
Hi, Mrs Brown how's your rheumatism
Seems to hold you back, it affects your disposition
It don't reall matter, I've got bigger fish to fry
So, if you'll please excuse me
While I wave ya'll goodbye
Chorus:
The sounds of the city seem to knock me on my back
I'm lookin' for some light, but my whole world is turned to black
It seems that all my life is a clearly open book
But let me tell you, honey, I'm not worth a second look
Chorus:
