[Verse 1]
Today, everything was fine, fine, fine
Until roundabout, quarter to nine, I suddenly found myself in a bind, a bind
Was it something I said? Something I read and manifested that's getting you down?
Don't you dare come to bed with that ambiguous look in your eye
I'd sooner sleep by an open fire and wake up fried
[Chorus]
Say what you will
Say what you mean
No, you could never offend
Your dirty words come out clean, clean
[Verse 2]
Tomorrow, what price will I pay?
Could I make it all up to you by serving coffee for two in bed? Would you then gimme the time of day?
I need a map of your head translated into English so I can learn not to make you frown
You'd feel better if you'd vent, put your frustrations into four letter words, and let them out on mine
The most weathered ears in town
[Chorus]
Say what you will
Say what you mean
No, you could never offend
Your dirty words come out clean
[Bridge]
Clean, clean
Clean, clean
Clean, clean
[Chorus]
Say what you will
Say what you mean
No, you could never offend
Your dirty words come out clean
Say what you will
Say what you mean
No, you could never offend
Your dirty words come out clean, clean
