Touchy Situation lyrics

I'd like to find out what places she's been

What's behind her locked door

Oh better yet, know if I'm out or I'm in

If the renovator still runs the top floor

Perhaps she would say

She was a student of hope

And I'm dangling from the end

Of a disintegrating rope

But I don't wish to spark off

Of outraged imagination

I don't wish to get into any double edged conversation

It's a touchy situation

Whoa-oh-oh, yes

It's a touchy situation

Oh-oh-oh yeah

Someday I'll find out

What I'm now afraid to ask

And I'll discover what lies there

Beneath the door mats

Perhaps she would say

That I'm just deathly afraid

To see her make the same mistake that I made

And it might lead to

Some sweet revelation

She knows I hate

Eating this conversation

It's a touchy situation

Whoa-oh-oh, yes

It's a touchy situation

Oh-oh-oh yeah

I said, "Are you doing well baby?"

She says, "Go ask your father"

I said, "Give me yes, no, or maybe"

She says, "Why should I bother?"

I said

She says

I said, "oh"

I'll ask you tomorrow

I'll ask you tomorrow

If I could only break the cold of her fears

I could

Expose the secrets to the river of her tears

Ride all of her senses

Until she's ? for all of her tears

Before she'd exercise

Those powers of manipulation

It's a touchy situation

It's a touchy situation

It's a touchy situation

Whoa-oh-oh

It's a touchy situation

Whoa-oh-oh

It's a touchy situation

It's a touchy situation

It's a touchy situation
