Aimee Mann That's Just What You Are
(one, two) In our endeavor we are never seeing eye to eye No guts to sever so forever may we wave good-bye And you're always telling me that it's my turn to move When I wonder what could make the needle jump the groove I won't fall for the oldest trick in the book So don't sit there and think you're off of the hook By saying there is no use changing 'Cause that's just what you are That's just what you are Act steady always read to defend your fears What's the matter with the truth did I offend your ears By suggesting that a change might be a thing to try Like it would kill you just to try and be a nicer guy It's not like you would lose some critical piece If somehow you moved point A to point B Maintaining there is no point Changing 'Cause that's just what you are That's just what you are Now I could talk to you 'til I'm blue in the face But we still would arrive at the very same place With you running around and me out of the race So maybe you're right nobody can take Something older than time and hope you could make It better that would be a mistake So take it just so far 'Cause that's just what you are That's just what you are That's just what you are Acting steady always ready To defend your fears (that's just what you are) What's the matter with the truth Did I offend your ears (that's just what you are) You're like a sleepwalking man It's a danger to wake you (that's just what you are) Even when it is apparent Where your actions will take you (that's just what you are) And that's just what you are (that's just what you are) And that's just what you are (that's just what you are) That's just what you are ?
