Violent Femmes - What You Really Mean lyrics

I seen you treat love as a simple mark Caught up in moments of electric spark Step inside just as you leave your mark Defenseless But sometimes when you look at me In the darkness of your eyes, I see What you really mean Tell me lovers play a fickle game A broken heart's just another name For wounded pride in a war of lame Pretenses But sometimes when you look at me In the darkness of your eyes I see What you really mean Wonder of what can I be denied You pay the toll and you take the ride You give it all or else you haven't tried You don't lay, halfway Dreams not asked for I see right through you There's not much difference in the things that we do I know you better than you want me to But still Sometimes when you look at me In the darkness of your eyes I see What you really mean Wonder of what can I be denied You pay the toll and you take the ride You give it all or else you haven't tried You don't lay, halfway [x2] I know there's some things that you can't erase I shake my head as I watch you chase From place to place, so as not to face The chances That sometimes when you look at me In the darkness of my eyes you'll see What I really mean What you really mean (What you really mean) [x3]
