That's What I Said Lyrics

Norah Jones That's What I Said

I'm going down south

Won't be misquoted in my own bed

That's what I said, that's what I said

You missed the loophole in my head

That's what I said, that's what I said

That's what I said, that's what I said



If a nice girl sings about heart attacks

Will people listen or turn their backs?

Cause sugar coating is bitter sweet

Do people just want to move their feet?



Puffy clouds or puffy eyes

Don't know which will make me wise

Ridiculously analyzed

And they move slow, that's no surprise

That's what I said, that's what I said

That's what I said, that's what I said



Now everyday you pack a bow

Think about the words you know

Drag good people into holes

Your expertise runs very low



Critically you ridicule

One who'd kick your ass in pool

But technically you're just a tool

You'd point out things like your own school

That's what I said, that's what I said

Here we go, here we go, here we go right now



Have a daisy, have a rose

You dignifiedly pick your nose

Then wipe it on the girls whose pose

You'd like to hose and expose



Long and lazy, tough and lean

They call you out as the king of mean

You bite the hand of the too serene

I'll bet the king of mean's no sex machine



Typically you're topical

You like the dance of push and pull

You think that everyone's a fool

But you're bananas and a bully



That's what I said, that's what I said

That's what I said, that's what I said

That's what I said, that's what I said

That's what I said, that's what I said



If you don't care 'bout what I said

You don't care 'bout what's in my head

You think I might as well be dead

Then how'd we end up back in bed
