Don't pick up what you can't put down Or walk away just to turn around Don't ask what you don't wanna know Don't shine what you can't wear out Or think what you can't say out loud Or wonder why you're all alone I didn't mean to make you cry Guess I wasn't thinking When the words don't come out right What's a boy to do? If we could work it out somehow If I could say I'm sorry I was never good at all the talking What's a boy to do? Don't sell what you wouldn't buy Pretending to know just to wonder why Don't shoot it down just to hope it flies again All I know is that you never know Sometimes love is letting go But sometimes it's just the beginning of the end I didn't mean to make you cry Guess I wasn't thinking When the words don't come out right What's a boy to do? If we could work it out somehow If I could say I'm sorry I was never good at all the talking What's a boy to do? I didn't mean to make you cry Guess I wasn't thinking When the words don't come out right What's a boy to do? If we could work it out somehow If I could say I'm sorry I was never good at all the talking What's a boy to do? What's a boy to do? I was never good at all the talking What's a boy to do?
