Figure-Figure Figuring

Are we in this for keeps
or are you keeping me down?
’cause you’re losing sleep
and I’m really sleeping sound
You’re reading too deep
into things that I say
I feel I can’t speak
lest you take things a different way
Come on!
Stop force-feeding me
all the words in your head
Such heart-bleeding words
I never would have said

Figure-figure, figuring
All you do ’bout everything
My head hurts, and my ears ring
from all your figuring!

I choose my words
carefully in my head
’cause the things overheard
won’t be what I really said
It figures that you’d
try to figure me out
And when you start fights,
there’s nothing to fight about
Come on!
Stop force-feeding me
all the words in your head
Such heart-bleeding words
I never would have said

Figure-figure, figuring
All you do ’bout everything
My head hurts, and my ears ring
from all your figuring!
Figure-figure, figuring
Analyzing everything
Why can’t you just let me be
and stop your figuring?

Figure-figure everything
and every word I say
But you still haven’t figured out
who I am anyway

My head hurts and my ears ring
from all your figure-figuring

Nah, nah, nah, nah, nah, nah, nah
Nah, nah, nah, nah, nah, nah, nah
Nah, nah, nah, nah, nah, nah, nah
All your figuring
