Lyrics
And so you want to sing a break up song?
Well, let me show you how it's done
Take one betrayal and a broken heart
And then you have a little fun
But most importantly of all
This mellow-yellow vibe won't do
You've got to let that feeling shine on through
I'm telling you
Acoustic is all wrong to sing a break up song (ooh)
Yeah (come on)
Give back the words that you said you would keep
But then turned right around and asked for the receipt
Oh, now don't act so dumb, 'cause you know what I mean
The "I" and the "you" with the love in between
I guess no one told us we're on borrowed time
And that all the idealism was purely mine
So, just give back the words that you refused to show
Back where you found them or back down my throat
Down to my stomach and all down my guts
That I shouldn't back out, yeah, I shouldn't unload
All I could think about, all evening long was, "All of this heartache would make a great song walking out"
Acoustic is all wrong, acoustic is all wrong
Acoustic is all wrong
Acoustic is wrong
And so you want to sing a love song?
Well, let me give you some advice
You better get the hell away from me
Because I just ran out of nice
Fresh out of faith and understanding too
I'm packing bags and moving on
You want a fairytale ending, well
You better skip to the next song
'Cause
You did me wrong
You did me wrong
You did me wrong
So this is so long
Come on, what's the hold up?
What's taking so long?
Your hand's on my heart, but your grip is all wrong
With your thumb on my halo, pinky on my smile
Index and ring on my feeling worthwhile
Your middle one free just to stand up and shout
That you're through with my love, and then rip it all out
I can't help but feel that this all is so wrong
But, you made your decision, so make yourself gone
