I try to get my point across but you keep bringin' me down

All you offer me is cryptic clues

I don't know why I even try, I'm feeling like a clown

You're givin' me the crossword puzzle blues



You came here on a Sunday, dressed in black and white

You're leaving here on Monday, if everything works out right

I know you're playing hard to get, but it's only a matter of time

I'll find out what you're hidin' from me, or else I'll lose my mind



I know that I should leave you alone but something draws me in

So I sit down and I kick off my shoes

Some give up when they've had enough, but I'll never let you win

You're giving me the crossword puzzle blues



You came here on a Sunday, dressed in black and white

You're leaving here on Monday, if everything works out right

I know you're playing hard to get, but it's only a matter of time

I'll find out what you're hidin' from me, or else I'll lose my mind



I'm glad you aren't easy, but why are you so cruel?

You love it when I'm angry and confused

Pleasure and pain, it's all the same, I'm just another fool
