Lyrics

They come here alone and they leave in twos,
Except for you and me who just came to use.
If you’re all done like you said you’d be,
What are you doin’ hangin’ out with me?

Why do you tell me stuff that’s so plainly untrue?
If you’ll be straight with me, I’ll be straighter with you.
If you’re all done like you said you’d be,
What are you doin’ hangin’ out with me?

I haven’t wanted to do anything for a long time,
But whatever you got right now would probably suit me fine.
If you’re all done like you said you’d be,
What are you doin’ hangin’ out with me?

I haven’t wanted to do anything for a long time.
Whatever you’re doin’ now would probably suit me fine.
If you’re all done like you said you’d be,
What are you doin’ hangin’ out with me?
What are you doin’ hangin’ out with me?
