CHORUS/CHANT:
Reverse psychology
Doesn`t work on me
It works my nerves
But I think logically
So don`t rehearse what you`re gonna say
I like it better the spontaneous way
You got an insecurity? I won`t nurse it
I don`t buy psyche - so why reverse it?
VERSE:
Games are good for attention
But in the end they let you down
Hold me back or let me go
But no more middle ground
Boy, you`ve got to play your cards right
Get on back to the basics of love
We don`t need no mindless mind games
A little give and take - push and shove -
A little honesty is what I`m in need of!
CHORUS/CHANT
Don`t you know I`ve seen it all
Though I seem naive to you
Hit me with anything at all -
Just hit me with the truth - yeah!
You keep thinking one of these days you`ll
Push my back against the wall
It`s too late for tricks of the trade now
I can escape anything at all - oh!
A little push and shove - give and take -
But I won`t fall!
CHORUS
Why wait till something better comes along?
Why not stay steady and strong?
A silver lining cannot be far away
You`ll get much further if you
Do what you mean and mean what you say
