Whyd you put your dress shoes on if you didnt come to dance? Frankly, Id be on my own if I thought Id stand a chance Whyd you take your glasses off if you dont intend to fight? Frankly, Id be on my own if I thought Id last the night No screaming or fighting, no scratching or biting Were just shaking hands goodnight Sullen and silent, emotionally violent I waited a while and nothing, nothing [Chorus] Why say anything nice When you can say nothing at all? Why say anything nice When you can say nothing at all? Whyd you put your backpack on if you wont just take a hike? Frankly, Id be out the door if you hadnt sold my bike No fencing or sparring, no bruising or scarring And no au revoiring yet No communication, just alienation Ive tried to be patient but nothing, nothing [Chorus] Why say anything nice When you can say nothing at all? Why say anything nice When you can say nothing at all? Say anything nice, a simple device That makes everything beautiful just ordinary Nice can come at a price, forever imbued with all this boredom Sacrifice can only suffice when something is beautiful After all the resentment, all the discontentment The flowers you sent meant nothing, nothing [Chorus] Why say anything nice When you can say nothing at all? Why say anything nice When you can say nothing at all? [Outro] You can say nothing at all Woo hoo hoo Nothing at all Woo hoo hoo You can say nothing at all Woo hoo hoo Nothing at all Woo hoo hoo
hoo, nothing, nice, say, anything
