Say Nice Things About Detroit

I always was the one to leave

I had no rehersal

For this role reversal

Say nice things about Detroit

The way you left you were a big big jerk

There I was: anticipating

Some kind of love

I'm still waiting

It's like it was just last week

I tell myself, but it wasn't

Dressing up and making plans

I'm so bad at staying friends

Say something nice

Say it again

Say something nice

Say it again

I've never known a liberty

But you sure were thirsty

Then it gets all murky

Say nice things about Detroit

Remember standing in the doorway

Private words and holding hands

Can't you pretend to pretend

Say nice things about Detroit

The way you left you were a big big jerk

There I was: anticipating

Some kind of love

I'm still waiting

Say something nice

Say it again

Say something nice

Say it again
