Let me tell you about a little situation It's been testing my patience, man She was keeping me up all night 'Cause you only get so far reading faces We were off to the races And I thought to myself, "Hold tight" You see there was just this one complication She was already taken And what was so wrong felt so right She said, "No need to be looking over your shoulder When you could just come over And we could work this out just fine" I don't know what you want from me So careless in my company Oh, if all that you say is true There'll be no getting over you Slow me down, playing by your rules If you're a joker, then I'm a fool I guess there's no catching up to you If you don't want my affection Don't lie, you're tearing me up 'Cause you've got all my attention I won't lie, you're tearing me up And I'm trying to tell your intention When you lie, you're tearing me up If you don't want my affection You won't mind, you're tearing me up It all started with a simple conversation It was all in the making, man She was talking me up all night Kept asking if I was only faking She was there for the taking Showing me that she was all mine She told me she lived just around the corner I wanted to know her Ya, she was making me lose my mind I didn't know quite what I was chasing She had my heart racing And all it took was just one night I don't know what you want from me So careless in my company Oh, if all that you say is true There'll be no getting over you Slow me down, playing by your rules If you're a joker, then I'm a fool I guess there's no catching up to you If you don't want my affection Don't lie, you're tearing me up 'Cause you've got all my attention I won't lie, you're tearing me up And I'm trying to tell your intention When you lie, you're tearing me up If you don't want my affection You won't mind, you're tearing me up
