you know I'd rather fight with you
if that's the only way
the way to be close to you, oh I'm not lying
so be careful when you talk to me
you know you never know
i've always loved to lie to you, but I'm not lying now

we could start again
we could let down our defenses

(chorus)
these days I mostly watch your mouth
when I don't know what you are saying
when you say, 'baby watch your mouth
when you talk to me'

i knew it when you said to me
mostly you're so sweet
and you love it when I'm leaving you, you love to miss me
but family isn't family
who doesn't know your name
who doesn't want to stay with you until the very end

you know I can't resist
when you talk to me like this

(chorus)

(bridge)
'cause i hardly ever say to you
the thing I really mean

(chorus)
