Lyrics

[Verse 1]

I know she said it's alright

But you can make it up next time

I know she knows it's not right

There ain't no use in lyin'

[Verse 2]

Well, maybe she thinks I know something

Maybe, maybe she thinks it's fine

Or maybe she knows something I don't

I'm so, I'm so tired, I'm so tired of trying

[Chorus]

It seems to me that maybe

It pretty much always means no

So don't tell me you might just let it go

And oftentimes we're lazy

It seems to stand in my way

'Cause no one, no, not no one likes to be let down

[Verse 3]

I know she loves the sunrise

No longer sees it with her sleeping eyes and

I know that when she said she's gonna try

Well, it might not work because of other ties and, look

I know she usually has some other ties and

I wouldn't wanna break 'em, nah, I wouldn't wanna break 'em

Maybe she'll help me to untie this, but

Until then, well, I'm gonna have to lie, too

[Chorus]

It seems to me that maybe

It pretty much always means no

So don't tell me you might just let it go

And oftentimes we're lazy

It seems to stand in my way

'Cause no one, no, not no one likes to be let down

[Chorus]

It seems to me that maybe

It pretty much always means no

So don't tell me you might just let it go

[Outro]

Harder that you try, baby, the further you'll fall

Even with all the money in the whole wide world

Please, please, please don't pass me

Please, please, please don't pass

Please, please, please don't pass me by

Everything you know about me now, baby, you're gonna have to change

You're gonna call it by a brand new name, ooh, ooh, ooh

Please, please, please don't drag

Please, please, please don't drag

Please, please, please don't drag me down

Just like a tree down by the water, baby, I shall not move

Even after all the silly things you do, ooh, ooh, ooh

Please, please, please don't drag

Please, please, please don't drag

Please, please, please don't drag me down
