Well people say to
Pick your battles
You are mine

And by the way I
I learned my lesson
About messing around and around the last time

I got a brand new plan I?ll have to call my strategy
I?m gonna pull out all the stops like you?d expect from me

Chorus:
I?m gonna say
I just don?t see so good
And let you think I can?t feel like I should
Don?t want you,
Cut the chase and make your move
To come closer, and whisper
In my ear
(In my ear)

Your gonna ask you, your gonna wonder,
Just why I?m not falling at your feet (your gonna wonder)
It took a while a while a while for me to get
The spaces all you?ll be

I never wanted to play games so all I did was lose
And now I?m counting all your cards and making up the rules

Chorus:
I?m gonna say
I just don?t see so good
And let you think I can?t feel like I should
Don?t want you,
Cut the chase and make your move
To come closer and whisper
In my ear
Whisper in my ear
Oh, whisper in my ear
I?m gonna say
I just don?t see so good
And let you think I can?t feel like I should
Don?t want you,
Cut the chase and make your move
To come closer and whisper
I?m gonna say
I just don?t see so good
And let you think I can?t feel like I should
Don?t want you,
Cut the chase and make your move
To come closer (closer) and whisper (Whisper)
In my ear
Whisper in my ear
In my ear
In my ear
In my ear
