  • Come on out, come on out
    Where'd you go, where'd you go?
    I don't mean to play here

    Figure out, figure out
    What you know, what you know
    Figure out how to say it clear
    Cause you're more likely to get cut with a dull tool
    Than a sharp one

    You, you stuck around
    You stuck around
    You stuck around
    Until you got me
    Then, then you dropped me

    You don't kiss when you kiss
    You don't fuck when you fuck
    You don't say what you mean
    You don't talk loud enough
    No pulse in your impulse
    Celebration's impossible

    You forgot the difference between equanimity and passivity
    You forgot you have to try, you have to try, you have to try
    You forgot that glorious feeling that you get when you get the truth
    So tell that girl you don't love her
    And if you do, tell her two times
    Cause you're more likely to get cut with a dull tool
    Than a sharp one

    You don't kiss when you kiss
    You don't fuck when you fuck
    You don't say what you mean, you don't talk, not enough
    No pulse in your impulse
    Celebration's impossible when

    You don't kiss when you kiss
    You don't fuck when you fuck
    You don't say what you mean
    You don't talk loud enough
    No pulse in your impulse
    Celebration's impossible Writer/s: FIONA APPLE MAGGART
