CYNDI LAUPER - Mincing Words lyrics

rate me

sometimes when I lose my head

I can't make sense of what you said

but you don't mean it

or that's what you say

all the conversation seems to slip away

oh maybe you can say it better (you can say it better...better)

I can listen

people do it all the time, baby

we can make it better (we can make it better)

cause mincing words (mincing words) will never rhyme

they never rhyme

same excuses that go round and round

push them up just to knock them down

confuse the issue to shift the blame

and lose the picture like a puzzle game

you never notice if you're right or wrong (right or wrong)

it becomes a contest of the weak and the strong

(weak and the strong, baby)

there is no reason for you to pick a fight (no, no)

when we lose heart its time to shut out the light

mmmm hmmm

oh maybe you can say it better

(you can say it better...better)

I can listen

people do it all the time, baby

we can make it better (we can make it better)

cause mincing words (cause mincing words)

Will never rhyme

baby never rhyme

will never rhyme
