[Verse 1] Across the room like a dancing architect A daddy waltz on the tops of my shoes A dealer in womens short attentions Ill have a cousin who grew up in the same town as you [Verse 2] Ill joke around with an unloaded weapon You drink until its in line with your taste Look out the window, theyre burning the rice fields Ill run for office sometime Peoples choice, foe of waste [PreChorus 1] Maybe I say the dull things I say Maybe they reach her through the air Maybe Im thinking of it as a task Maybe it really is a task, and Im not up to the task Maybe the answer is dont ask [Chorus] Dont respond, she can tell Dont respond, she can tell Dont respond, she can tell Dont respond, she can tell [Verse 3] Be prepared to play down first impressions Respect the weight of the sounds in the room Be on the prowl for a thoughtful provider Ill hate for not giving me Even more love in bloom [PreChorus 2] Maybe I see the things I look at maybe I should know Maybe I look right past whats wrong maybe I dont know Maybe she thinks in terms of sets of boys Maybe she knows the set of boys, and Im not in the set of boys Maybe the signal is the noise [Chorus] Dont respond, she can tell dont respond Dont respond, she can tell she can tell Dont respond, she can tell Dont respond, she can tell dont respond Dont respond, she can tell she can tell Dont respond, she can tell Dont respond, she can tell dont respond Dont respond, she can tell she can tell Dont respond, she can tell
