David Byrne - Tentative Decisions lyrics

Now that I can release my tensions Let me make clear my best intentions Girls ask: can I define decision? Boys ask: can I describe their function? Oh the boys want to talk Would like to talk about those problems And the girls say they're concerned - (that they are) Concerned with these decisiveness And it's a hard logic to follow - and the girls get lost And the boys say they're concerned - (that they are) Concerned with decisiveness (I wanna talk) I wanna talk as much as I want (I'm gonna give) I'm gonna give the problem to you (I wanna talk) I wanna talk as much as I want (I'm gonna give) I'm gonna give the problem to you Decide, decide, make up your mind Decide, decide, I told you what to say Confuse, confuse, describe what I found Confuse, confuse, I told you what to say* [*The printed sleeve lyrics end here with the instruction "repeat with reversal of gender."] Oh the girls still want to talk Would like to talk about those problems And the boys say they're concerned - (that they are) Concerned with decisiveness And it's a hard logic I know - and the girls get lost And the boys say they're concerned - (that they are) Concerned with decisiveness (I wanna talk) I wanna talk as much as I want (I'm gonna give) I'm gonna give the problem to you (I wanna talk) I wanna talk as much as I want (I'm gonna give) I'm gonna give the problem to you Decide, decide, make up your mind Decide, decide, I told you what to say Confuse, confuse, describe what I found Confuse, confuse, I told you what to say [Source: original 1977 inner sleeve]
