Sweet Talk Lyrics by Dear And The Headlights

Small Steps, Heavy Hooves

2007

[Intro]
Speak dumb like every other one
Don't want to let you down, I'd rather let you fall apart
And sew you back up, a bit less obvious
Oh you forgot I called, won't take it personal, personal honey
[Verse 1]
I know, you've just been busy or
You need to be alone, well, you can call me if you're bored
I'll sing a song low over the telephone
In lower decibels, so you can hear it and hear it and hear it
And hear it and— lost it though
You've lost that privilege with a hundred more
Hold his hand now, out on the mission field
Your heart's compatible, mine breaks alone, alone, alone
[Chorus]
Your new boyfriend
You've got your new boyfriend
You've got your new boyfriend
You've got your new boyfriend
[Post-Chorus]
I bet he likes you more than he likes
Me 'cause I'm the former one
He's the latter one, he'd never say it but it's right
[Verse 2]
I'm sorry, that was rude of me
Forget I said a thing, but don't forget it when you're staring at
Him, say something you mean, don't be polite
Kiss, kill— nothing in between, I can't sit still
Sit still and get cancelled
Can't sit still, sit still, not when you got, you got, you got
[Chorus]
Your new boyfriend
You've got your new boyfriend
You've got your new boyfriend (Get sold on the meaningful, or don't, get sold on the meaningful, or don't)
You've got your new boyfriend (Get sold on the meaningful, or don't)
[Post-Chorus]
I bet he likes you more than he likes
Me 'cause I'm the former one
He's the latter one, he'd never say it but it's right
[Verse 3]
Passed on, up and over
Said she did, said she gotta come on
And pass me up, let me go
Throw away, let me go
Oh, it's okay not to be the same
Be the same, you've got him, oh, you've got him, oh
[Bridge]
Crossed out a page of names I won't say
Some state I can't name, they both mean the same thing
[Outro]
You've got your new boyfriend
You've got your new boyfriend
I bet he likes you more than he likes me
