This World Fair - Count To Ten lyrics

[Verse 1] I couldn't hear a word you said I couldn't be more interested In the parting of your pursed lips I used to kiss instead [Pre-Chorus 1] 'Cause now they sharpen every knife That takes a little slice of my dignity And you serve it up clean Then you turn and give me twice the dirty [Chorus] And I bob and weave And jab for sympathy 'Cause I'm up against the ropes And I can't avoid the sting And I bite my lip And take one on the chin I get back on my feet Before you count to ten [Verse 1] I never played the game like this I never knew how much I missed The thrill of hide and seek When I'm the one who's trying to be still [Pre-Chorus 2] Still I sharpen my tongue And gather my wits while you're looking And the moment you breathe You know I'm gonna take off running [Modified Chorus] And I bob and weave And fall for sympathy 'Cause I'm up against the dark And I cannot see a thing And I bite my lip And take one on the chin I get back on my feet Before you count to ten Before you count to ten Before you count to ten [Outro] This isn't what we wanted We're back to where we started This isn't what we wanted We're back to where we started This isn't what we wanted We're back to where we started (This isn't what we wanted) Before you count to ten (We're back to where we started) Before you count to ten This isn't what we wanted We're back to where we started This isn't what we wanted We're back to where we started
