The Things That You Tell Her Songtext
Been out 'cause I'm not thinking straight
Feeling good until I pull in, then, I stay out late
Burn it in with a grin, dressing up
Hope to see him on the tube back late at night, yeah
And I've been overthinking it
Busy running over every little thing you did
Touching up my leg in a bar at a gig
Whilst the cat might have been away
Then, I picture all the things you'd say
You hit reverse on all the games I played
Feeling good until I pull in, then, I stay out late
Burn it in with a grin, dressing up
Hope to see him on the tube back late at night, yeah
And I've been overthinking it
Busy running over every little thing you did
Touching up my leg in a bar at a gig
Whilst the cat might have been away
Then, I picture all the things you'd say
You hit reverse on all the games I played
Told me "Be patient", so I will
And just as I called it off, I see you cross the room
Man, you smiled, then, I blushed
Then, you had me by the time that I stopped
To tell you just what was the deal
Told you all the things I like
From the way I like my tea to how my songs gone by
But how many girls have you sat there before me?
Telling them all the same sad, sorry stories
Seems to always be afraid
Busy wrapped up in your wagon when you'll next get laid
Granted that I maybe didn't move much better
And the things that you tell her
Just the things you said to me but better
The things that you tell her
Just the things you said to me but better
Wanna know all the things that you tell her
Just the things you said to me but better
Okay, maybe I went all too right I could kinda get obsessive and I squeeze too tight
Plus, how many boys have been sat there before him
Playing me riffs as if it wasn't boring?
Maybe it was good, that change
And I think that I got off on how he moves so strange
How many times that I've cried over West boys
Fought for the words in the games that they enjoy
Stealing all the things you'd say
You hit reverse, said "This is how I play"
Told me "Be patient", why would I be?
You asked me to write you a song
But I said I'd only do that if you did something wrong
Now finding out you'd had another girl all along
Let me tell you what now is the deal
You know I warned you about the things I write
Now you'll really get to know how all my words can bite
And when people ask you, "Yeah, what was the story?"
You'll start to wish that you had just ignored me
You should have listened when we said pretend
Ignoring that we both are wanting more than friends
Granted that I maybe didn't move much better
But the things that you tell her
Just the things you said to me but better
The things that you tell her
Just the things you said to me but better
Wanna know all the things that you tell her
Just the things you said to me but better
Wanna know all the things that you tell her
Just the things you said to me but better
Just the things you said to me but better
And just as I called it off, I see you cross the room
Man, you smiled, then, I blushed
Then, you had me by the time that I stopped
To tell you just what was the deal
Told you all the things I like
From the way I like my tea to how my songs gone by
But how many girls have you sat there before me?
Telling them all the same sad, sorry stories
Seems to always be afraid
Busy wrapped up in your wagon when you'll next get laid
Granted that I maybe didn't move much better
And the things that you tell her
Just the things you said to me but better
The things that you tell her
Just the things you said to me but better
Wanna know all the things that you tell her
Just the things you said to me but better
Okay, maybe I went all too right I could kinda get obsessive and I squeeze too tight

Just the things you said to me but better
Wanna know all the things that you tell her
Just the things you said to me but better
Just the things you said to me but better
