Better watch what I say, I wouldn't want to offend If we ever spoke clearly, the world might end Malevolent hearts could just be misunderstood To comment on their carnage Might appear rude So let's call this retreat a negative advance And say the loser couldn't lose 'Cause he didn't stand a chance You ask me if I'll miss you when you're gone from me I'll say I will but mean eventually We're so politically correct, saying absolutely nothing No position to suspect, giving absolutely nothing at all Nothing at all I wonder what you think but I'm afraid to ask Don't want to intrude or take you to task I hope you understand what I just can't say You don't want to go and I can't ask you to stay This is how it is but must it always be I would love to hear you for once just disagree And I would love to know what's between you and me And so it goes on indefinitely Me passing you and you passing me
