about
In an earlier version, this song was played for another songwriter who remarked, "I don't get it. Does he love her or not? The verses are conflicting."
Yup.
Yup.
lyrics
If you don’t mind
Stitching my jeans one leg at a time
If you don’t mind, baby go ahead
If you don’t mind
Taking me home with a head full of wine
If you don’t mind baby go ahead
Play to my doubts
What are you laughing about?
What are you laughing about, baby go ahead
If you can’t see
How a simple little trip can bring a man to his knees
If you can’t see baby go ahead
If you can’t see
How an easy mistake can ruin every belief
If you can’t see baby go ahead
Play to my doubts
What are you laughing about
What are you laughing about, baby go ahead
And take me out
Go on and spin me around
Go on and spin me around, yeah, baby go ahead
All this talk and no play
We scream every word we say
Until it hurts our throats
It really hurts my throat, this time
I’m at a loss
Spinning my nickels whatever the cost
I’m at a loss over what’s been said
I’m at a loss
Turned head over heel like a coin in a toss
I’m at a loss over what’s been said
If you don’t mind
Stitching my jeans one leg at a time
If you don’t mind, baby go ahead
Stitching my jeans one leg at a time
If you don’t mind, baby go ahead
If you don’t mind
Taking me home with a head full of wine
If you don’t mind baby go ahead
Play to my doubts
What are you laughing about?
What are you laughing about, baby go ahead
If you can’t see
How a simple little trip can bring a man to his knees
If you can’t see baby go ahead
If you can’t see
How an easy mistake can ruin every belief
If you can’t see baby go ahead
Play to my doubts
What are you laughing about
What are you laughing about, baby go ahead
And take me out
Go on and spin me around
Go on and spin me around, yeah, baby go ahead
All this talk and no play
We scream every word we say
Until it hurts our throats
It really hurts my throat, this time
I’m at a loss
Spinning my nickels whatever the cost
I’m at a loss over what’s been said
I’m at a loss
Turned head over heel like a coin in a toss
I’m at a loss over what’s been said
If you don’t mind
Stitching my jeans one leg at a time
If you don’t mind, baby go ahead
