take me out tonight
if nothing happens
then nothing happens
you're not responsible
you see
the way the faces fall
into the hands of the happy lovers
above the soft candlelight
that's the way we're made to be
isn't that the way we're made to be
like a slow and drawn out speech
you're pretending so hard to heed
I shut a sterling door
it never opens
I gave up hoping
it never bothers me a bit
isn't that the way we're made to be
I took the driver's side
I didn't really want it
now I'm off to hide
I'm like a broken toy
you took me home all right
a perfect lady
you never made me
think you ever wanted more
that's the way we're made to be
isn't that the way we're made to be
like a slow and drawn out drink
you didn't ever really want or need
I took the driver's side
I didn't really want it
now I'm off to hide
I'm like a broken toy
