[English]

She says, I don't take her seriously

And I don't, so I guess I'd have to agree

I didn't mean that

I really mean that

I know, she gets mad at me all the time

But that's fine, I don't let it ruin my night

I didn't mean that

I really mean that

I watch what I say

Say what I should

Something you said I misunderstood

I'll figure it out as soon as I figure it out

I could get there if I would just move

I like what I have and love what I lose

Figure it out as soon as I figure it out

Yeah

She says, one more time and she's out the door

Yeah yeah, haven't I heard that one before?

I didn't mean that

I really mean that

Come on, I wish she would cut me some slack

It's her fault, she's the one who keeps coming back

I didn't mean that

I really mean that

I watch what I say

Say what I should

Something you said I misunderstood

I'll figure it out as soon as I figure it out

I could get there if I would just move

I like what I have and love what I lose

Figure it out as soon as I figure it out

All my days are all the same

I should mind but all my time's spent wasting time away

I watch what I say

Say what I should

Something you said I misunderstood

I'll figure it out as soon as I figure it out

I could get there if I would just move

I like what I have and love what I lose

I'll figure it out as soon as I figure it out

I'll figure it out

Figure it out

I'll figure it out

Figure it out
