I used to like people But now I'm not sure The older I get The smaller my circle shrinks Seems like the cure I'm thinking that small talk Is gonna kill me in the end The obit will read It was a swift decline After the one millionth attempt You can find me Talking to the dog at the party I'll be on the couch in the corner Island vacation Anything to save me from a bad conversation See I can make it look like I'm busy He's saying the right things Polite and he's funny I never leave sorry When I'm talking to the dog at the party Don't want to chat about the weather Or your super fancy job You better sweep the floor, once more After all the names you dropped You were mean to the waiter The 11th cardinal sin I'll step outside to fake a phone call I'm never coming back again You can find me Talking to the dog at the party I'll be on the couch in the corner Island vacation Anything to save me from a bad conversation See I can make it look like I'm busy He's saying the right things Polite and he's funny I never leave sorry When I'm talking to the dog at the party If that makes me a loner I will gladly wear that crown I'd rather be a loner Than feel lonely With all these people around How miserable does that sound You can find me Talking to the dog at the party I'll be on the couch in the corner Island vacation Anything to save me from a bad conversation See I can make it look like I'm busy He's saying the right things Polite and he's funny I never leave sorry When I'm talking to the dog at the party
