Why'd you put your dress shoes on if you didn't come to dance?   Frankly, I'd be on my own if I thought I'd stand a chance   Why'd you take your glasses off if you don't intend to fight?   Frankly, I'd be on my own if I thought I'd last the night      No screaming or fighting, no scratching or biting   We're just shaking hands goodnight   Sullen and silent, emotionally violent   I waited a while and nothing, nothing      Why say anything nice when you can say nothing at all?   Why say anything nice when you can say nothing at all?   Why'd you put your backpack on if you won't just take a hike?   Frankly, I'd be out the door if you hadn't sold my bike      No fencing or sparring, no bruising or scarring   And no 'au revoiring' yet   No communication, just alienation   I've tried to be patient but nothing, nothing      Why say anything nice when you can say nothing at all?   Why say anything nice?      Say anything nice, a simple device   That makes everything beautiful just ordinary   Nice can come at a price, forever imbued with all this boredom   Sacrifice can only suffice when something is beautiful      After all the resentment, all the discontentment   The flowers you sent meant nothing, nothing      Why say anything nice when you can say nothing at all?   Why say anything nice when you can say nothing at all?   (Why say anything nice?)      You can say nothing at all   Woo hoo hoo   Nothing at all   Woo hoo hoo      You can say nothing at all   Woo hoo hoo   Nothing at all
