lyrics

EXCEPT WHEN I’M TALKING TO YOU

I can see this conversation
Isn’t going in the way I planned.
I can see your eyes glaze over,
And it’s hard for me to understand, so…

Tell me why I’m an interesting guy –
Except when I’m talking to you.
‘Cause no one tells a story better than I –
Except when I’m talking to you.
I know you’ll never believe it, but I promise, girl, that it’s true.
Tell me why I’m an interesting guy –
Except when I’m talking to you.

I can go to any party,
Have ‘em hanging on my every word.
They can throw out any subject,
And I’ll rock it like you’ve never heard, so…

Tell me why I’m an interesting guy –
Except when I’m talking to you.
‘Cause no one tells a story better than I –
Except when I’m talking to you.
I know you’ll never believe it, but I promise, girl, that it’s true.
Tell me why I’m an interesting guy –
Except when I’m talking to you.

I used to think that it was just infatuation
That made me act so awkwardly.
But now I know that it’s your total lack of interest
That’s bringing out the boring side of me.

You don’t give me much to work with,
Still I beat my head against the wall.
Doesn’t matter what I’m saying;
Your expression doesn’t change at all, so…

Tell me why I’m an interesting guy –
Except when I’m talking to you.
‘Cause no one tells a story better than I –
Except when I’m talking to you.
I know you’ll never believe it, but I promise, girl, that it’s true.
Tell me why I’m an interesting guy –
Except when I’m talking to you.
Tell me why I’m an interesting guy –
Except when I’m talking to you.
Except when I’m talking to you…
