What Do You Want Me to Say? by The Dismemberment Plan Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I lost my membership card to the human race
So don't forget the face
'Cause I know that I do belong here
Go down the checklist let's see, feelings are good
Dishonesty is bad
And keeping it inside is worse still
You want a problem? Well, I guess we got one now
I really don't know how
There's injuns over every goddamn hill
[Chorus]
What do you want me to say?
What do you want me to do
To let you know that I do mean it?
What do you want me to say?
What do you want me to do
To let you know that I do mean it?
What do you want me to say, yeah, yeah?
(Hey, hey)
[Verse 2]
I see it coming from a million miles away
What else can I say?
The only way you know that I love you
And there's no eye-to-eye, just Moses on the mount
Or I'm in for the count
You need your man above or below you
I cannot cry at will but I do wish I could
'Cause it'd do you some good
When every joke I make is treason
There was a time when you could make me laugh at will
And you can do it still
But never is it for the right reasons, yeah
[Chorus]
What do you want me to say?
What do you want me to do
To let you know that I do mean it?
What do you want me to say?
What do you want me to do
To let you know that I do mean it?
What do you want me to say?
What do you want to hear
To let you know that I do mean it?
What do you want me to say, yeah, yeah?
(Hey, hey, hey)
[Bridge]
Check out, uh, ooh check out, uh, ooh
Check out, uh, ooh, check out, yeah
Check out, uh, ooh, check out, uh, ooh
Check out, uh, ooh check out, yeah
[Chorus]
What do you want me to say?
What do you want me to do
To let you know that I do mean it?
What do you want me to say?
What do you want me to do
To let you know that I do mean it?
What do you want me to say?
What do you want to hear
To let you know that I do mean it?
What do you want me to say, yeah?
