It's a fundamental question that I'm asking of you
There should be no surprise, 'cause it ain't out of the blue
Set me straight if you think what I state isn't true
Untrue
When your answer don't match what your actions reveal
'Cause your heart shows me everything your mouth can conceal
And my mind starts to spinning like an ever-turning wheel
You say, I do and I don't, but that's no answer
First, it's yes, I do, why can't we move ahead
Then you say, no, I don't – see, you're no romancer
Your hesitation causes complication, always stops me dead
It's an inconsistent message that I'm getting from you
I try so hard but I still can't gather your point of view
Should I give up the chase or persist and pursue
When your words don't align with the feelings you feel
Give a thought to my heart, don't let yours turn to steel
You may believe it's a fake but you know that it's real
You say, I do and I don't, but that's no answer
First, it's yes, I do, why can't we move ahead
Then you say, no, I don't – see, you're no romancer
Your hesitation causes complication, always stops me dead
When your answer don't match what your actions reveal
'Cause your heart shows me everything your mouth can conceal
And my mind starts to spinning like an ever-turning wheel
You say, I do and I don't, but that's no answer
