Lyrics

I got a pair of good knees no infectious disease

I have healthy knees and no contagious diseases.

I take it as a cue when you say hey I like your shirt

I perceive your compliment about my shirt as a signal.

And though my feelings might be hurt

Despite potential hurt feelings, I don't find it crazy to interpret your words as a hint to stay.

It don't seem insane to interpret what you're saying as a message I should stick around

Entering confidently, as if seeking attention, affection flows without financial burdens.

Right through the door like someone looking for attention dish

Noteworthy conversations lack depth, but they convey essential messages.

Affection like a dealer with no bills to pay

If you travel across town, you'll regret how you spend your money; taking a cab is a wiser choice.

That's not to mention conversation that you carry doesn't weigh much

You may be energetic, but you lack a stable sense of romance.

But it says all that you need to say

A casual greeting was misunderstood as an unwarranted advance.

And if you ride cross town you're bound to regret how you spend your pay

Feeling elation, thinking you were special, but the pursuit has no clear beginning.

I'd say it's best to call the cab you'll be embarrassed either way

Going out alone because someone stayed home asleep; now both are deeply involved.

You might be spry but got no sturdy sense of romance

Reflecting on the unexpected situation, questioning the decisions made.

Took half a hello misconstrued it as an advance

Preparing pancakes before leaving, acknowledging the complex situation involving multiple individuals.

Got all elated thinking you'd been set apart

Respecting boundaries without overstepping, recognizing the neglect in the relationship.

You're salivating for a finish line that don't have a start

Seeking advance notice about the situation and potential consequences.

Went out alone 'cause he had stayed home asleep

Expressing uncertainty, either feeling foolish or subtly addressing the complexity of the situation.

You brought me back and now we're both in deep

Requesting clarification about the acquaintance and the nature of the relationship.

Can't believe just what we've put ourselves in

Expressing surprise and potential misunderstanding about being called "baby."

And I'll make pancakes before leaving for you and me and him

Feeling confused about the situation and the dynamics involved.

Not overstepping

Conveying a sense of being unsure and potentially misinterpreting the circumstances.

You're just neglecting

Feeling misunderstood and expressing confusion about the situation.

I need some warning 'bout what I'm walking into

Highlighting the need for clarity and communication before getting involved.

I'm either stupid

Expressing concern and a growing sense of unease.

Or way too subtle

Questioning the nature of the relationship and expressing doubt or subtlety.

There's just a couple things before we begin

Seeking clarification and addressing key points before entering the situation.

Well not for nothing but I'm slowly becoming alarmed

Expressing growing concern and alarm about the unfolding events.

How exactly is it that you know him

Questioning the familiarity with the third person and seeking an explanation.

He called you baby

Expressing surprise and confusion about being referred to as "baby."

I think I maybe

Reflecting on potential misunderstanding and confusion in the situation.

Misunderstood just what I'm walking into

Expressing a realization or potential misunderstanding about the situation.
