lyrics

You don't get mad at a basketball
when it bounces from the ground
And every morning, all over the world,
no one's surprised that the sun keeps coming around
I know you know about chemistry,
so there's no way you're gonna disagree with me
You've started a reaction that's hard to ignore,
oh, please, don't let me fall to the floor

Don't use my words against me
Don't use my words against me
or I'll be lonely as I've ever been,
always dreading the why and avoiding the when

So if you want to meet me at a small café,
my dear, I'll always be on time
I swear up, down, and sideways on a stack of Bibles,
I'll let you know if I'm running just a bit behind

Believe me, if you leave me, I'll go back to the ways
that got me through all those gloomy days
Lonely as I ever was, doing the things that I say that I'll do, just because

Don't use my words against me
Don't use my words against me
Don't use my words against me
Don't use my words against me

Believe me, if you leave me, we'll go back the ways
that got us through all those gloomy days
but we'll be lonely as we ever were,
that's the only fact that I can attest to for sure
