Used to have just one foot out the door Yeah, I always wanted more I always was the one You thought would never marry Used to be so wilfully obtuse, or is the word abstruse? Semantics like a noose, get out your dictionaries I'm gonna cut to the quick This is all nonfiction Words you beat with a stick These are my true convictions So tell me, are you serious? Are you serious? 'Cause every night of your life You'll fight for it So mysterious How imperious! But are you serious When it really comes down to it? I see that you're down there and I'm up here Your boyfriend's gone to get a beer Leaving us crystal-clear lines of communications Promise me you won't avert your eyes I'll drop my third-person disguise You know it's time to do or die No useless explanations I'm gonna cut to the quick This is all nonfiction Words you beat with a stick These are my true convictions Tell me, are you serious? Are you serious? Every night of your life You'll fight for it So mysterious How imperious! But are you serious When it really comes down to it?
