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
