Did I let you down? No
Did I give you up? No
So what's it all about now?
Was it not enough?
No, no, no

It's alright, yeah
It's okay, yeah
It's alright with me
I'll be fine, yeah
I don't mind, yeah
I'll pretend at least

But if you give me something, that I'll believe in
Give me something and I will wait
But if you give me nothing
I can't help feeling I'm in stalemate with you
Stalemate with you

Used to pick me up, yeah
Like a sunken pill
And I've been thinking it through
And we worked so well

But it feels wrong, yeah
When I'm strong alone, yeah
Strong alone by you
And the words you say, yeah
Just to get your way, yeah
Well they just won't do
You got to

Give me something, that I'll believe it
Give me something and I will wait
But if you give me nothing
I can't help feeling I'm in stalemate with you
Oh I'm in stalemate
Oh I'm in stalemate, baby
(Stalemate with you)

I need more
I need more
What are you waiting for?

It's so frustrating
(So frustrating, baby)
You got to want it
(Yeah)
I'm so frustrated with your love
What you do to me
Oh, yeah, yeah
Hey
You got me in stalemate
Ooh
Hey, hey, hey
You got me in stalemate
Hey yeah
Ooh, don't mug me, baby
Don't mug me, love
You breakin' my heart now
Don't you break my heart, no
Don't you break my heart

    C Yes, we may be hidden by rags, but we've something they'll never have
