Lyrics

Say what you mean
Say how you feel
Say what you like
But keep it real
Whisper your terms
Whisper your deal
Whisper conditions
Keep it real

Why won't you give me a break
Why are you such a fake
Why won't you let it drop
Why won't you ever stop
 
Telling tales
Telling tales
Telling tales
Telling tales

Waiting in the rain
Waiting in the snow
Waiting in the doubt
That you'll ever show
Quarter past eight
Ten past ten
Half eleven and
Alone again

A cold afternoon
A wasted meal
All because you
Can't keep it real
