We all have these grand ideas
You wont find down your IKEA
Or in the Freeman's catalogue
Not your problem, its their loss

But it's like a different language
When you asking for a Sandwich
Did you want a BLT
Or an end to tyranny?

Your ideas are very queer
Not thought through is all I hear
I love you I hate you, my dear
Mixed Messages

Your ideas come over
As angry quantum ogres
Cockblocking player agency
Railroading our spare empathy

Were left playing linguistic bingo
And it is Crashing Duolingo
Enough with all your limericks
Help me understand your gibberish

The Rogue Fedoras

You tell me to go left
But get angry when I do
So I go right this time
And it's still not good for you

Not good enough

I'm getting mixed messages
And it's making my head spin
No matter what I do for you
I can never ever win

Just once I want to please you
Make you happy and smile
And every thing you ask
I go the extra mile

Yesterday you were pleased
And even got on your knees
But Today you called me names
Scattered our love like leaves

Not good enough

I'm getting mixed messages
And it's making my head spin
No matter what I do for you
I can never ever win

Not good enough

And so I'll keep trying
To make you content
Even know I'm feeling
A building of resent

Why must I try so hard
When you never seem to do
My heart is my weapon
I keep using it on you

I'm getting mixed messages
And it's making my head spin
No matter what I do for you
I can never ever win
From spoken word to actual singing, I can screw up any style with style. :D

“Mixed Messages”
By Lunkhead

You say that you say what you mean what you mean
Line after line, there's no reading in between
Then tell me now baby how I'm still confused
Tell me now baby how I always lose
Oh yeah
oooh ooooh
You're giving me
A push and a shove and a kiss and a hug
Can't even tell if this is hate or love
Oh no
oooh ooooh
You're giving me
Mixed messages, mixed messages
Come on now, baby give it to me straight
Come on now, baby tell me to my face

Every day, every day, lose my mind, lose my cool
Time after time, know you're making me a fool
Whisper in my ear, baby sweet as honey
What i want to hear, then you take my money
Oh yeah
oooh ooooh
You're giving me
A lie and a truth, am i lover or a friend
Can't even tell if it's the start or the end
Oh no
oooh ooooh
You're giving me
Mixed messages, mixed messages
Come on now, baby give it to me plain
Come on now, baby won't you ease my pain

I try and I try, every test after test
Red light green light I always have to guess
I just want to know where I really stand
I just want to know if I am your man
Oh yeah
oooh ooooh
You're giving me
A pass and a fail but I come back for more
Kicking me out but you don’t close the door
Oh no
oooh ooooh
You're giving me
Mixed messages, mixed messages
Come on now, baby let’s go one more round
Come on now, baby don’t you let me down
Oh no
oooh ooooh
You're giving me
Mixed messages, mixed messages

No I can’t
Trust
What you say
Why can’t
I just
Walk away

We all heard Paul ask the question
Do you want me to love you?
There's no time for reflection
Do you or don't you want me to love you?

Yes or no is the answer
It doesn't matter which one
Yes or no is the answer
Do you or don't you want some fun
Or do you like giving mixed messages?

I know we've both been drinking
If you want I"ll leave you alone
Don't worry it's not what you're thinking
I'll even help you get home

Yes or no is the answer
It doesn't matter which one
Yes or no is the answer
Do you or don't you want some fun
Or do you like giving mixed...
Do you like giving mixed...
Do you like giving mixed messages?
