Lyrics
Teach me about the blues
Expressing a desire to learn or understand more about feeling sad or down (the blues).
Ask if she's paying half
Suggesting a request for the partner to share expenses equally in a relationship.
Always expecting news
Constantly anticipating updates or information.
even when it's bad
Being prepared for news, even if it is negative.
Always expected you
Previously expected reciprocity in sharing financial responsibilities.
to ask her to pay for half
Reflecting a shift in desires, now valuing communication over financial contributions.
Now I just want to the news
Currently, the focus is on receiving updates or information, regardless of its nature.
even when it's bad (it's bad, it's bad, it's bad)
Emphasizing the acceptance of both positive and negative news.
When it's bad, when it's bad.
Repeating the acknowledgment of dealing with challenging situations.
Where have you gone?
Pondering the absence or departure of someone significant.
You're there when I ask you to be and that's enough
Recognizing the presence of the partner when needed, considering it sufficient.
And in that way you kind of force me to say what I need (which I need)
Acknowledging the partner's influence in encouraging open communication about personal needs.
You're where I think you'll be, no matter how rough it is for me
Affirming the partner's reliability, irrespective of difficulties faced personally.
And in that way at least I can predict this stuff (which is sweet)
Expressing comfort in predicting the partner's actions, appreciating the sweetness in it.
Now I know not to lose
Understanding the importance of not losing the relationship.
Still know to treat you nice
Maintaining the knowledge of treating the partner with kindness.
Always expect the truth
Valuing and expecting honesty in communication.
Not always what's right
Acknowledging that what is expected may not always align with what is deemed right.
You don't expect a thing
Not anticipating specific actions or behaviors from the partner.
That's why it works so well
Highlighting the success of the relationship due to low expectations.
Talk to you when I sing
Using singing as a means of communication in the relationship.
You feel it but you can't tell (can't tell, can't tell, can't tell)
Feeling a connection, but the partner is unable to perceive certain emotions.
You can't tell when it's bad.
Reiterating the difficulty in discerning when the situation is negative.
