One Word Answers

It takes a better man than I to realise,
That’s there will come a day when you must let things lie.
I can be overwrought as anyone but then,
We’re all just battles raging underneath some skin.
I only listen to the words I want to hear,
I only listen to the words I want to hear.
And I only give you one word answers.
And I only give you one word answers.
And I only give you one word answers.
Ooh
Oh we were fists
That never land their punches
Do I look like a well to fill with one wish
Well I’ve got plenty here to drown in
I only listen to the words I want to hear
I only listen to the words I want to hear
And I only give you one word answers
And I only give you one word answers
And I only give you one word answers
Ooh
And of all I’ve helped in ever
You should’ve guessed, the town was me.
And of all I’ve helped in ever
You should’ve guessed, the town was me.
