Lyrics

I took a backseat, a backhander, I took her back to her room I better get back to the basics for you, oh yeah You gotta conscience, compassion, you got a way with the word You gotta heart full of complacency too Yes, I like that darling I don't have a purpose or mission, I'm empty by definition I got a lack girl that you'd love to be, ooh You wanna diva a deduction, you wanna do what they do Wanna do damage that you can undo Apart from everyone away from your love A part of me belongs apart from all the hurt above I got a perfect way to make a new proposition I got a perfect way to make a justification I got a perfect way to make a certain a maybe I got a perfect way to make the girls go crazy I took a day job amendment, I took a liking to you I took a page out of my rulebook for you, ooh You wanna message a confession, you wanna martyr me too You wanna margin of error for two Yes, I'd like that Maybe tomorrow the next letter or when the weather gets better I gotta wait here for your moon to turn blue, ooh-ooh I made an offer, exception I made a sense out of you You took a good look at your book and I knew In times of tenderness in terms baby so true Until such time as I can understand all the things you do I got a perfect way to make a new proposition I got a perfect way to make a justification I got a perfect way to make a certain a maybe I got a perfect way to make the girls go crazy Want to forgive you for all the things that you do Wanna forget how to remember with you Maybe tomorrow the next letter or when the weather gets better I've got to wait here for your moon to turn blue Apart from everyone away from your love A part of me belongs apart from all the hurt above I got a perfect way to make a new proposition I got a perfect way to make a justification I got a perfect way to make a certain a maybe I got a perfect way to make the girls go crazy This is a perfect way to make a new proposition This is a perfect way to make a justification This is a perfect way to make a certain a maybe This is a perfect way to make the girls go crazy A perfect way I got a perfect way, a perfect way I got a perfect way, a new proposition I got a perfect way, a justification
