what's the point
of all this pointless proximity
if you won't talk
take me for a walk
through a little story

all these years
have made me sick to tears
of such mysteries
why should i keep you
if you won't keep me
company?

til i get to know you
i ain't gonna show you nothing
wordlessly
whatchoo think this is?
you think that that grin
gonna get you in
where you wanna be?

do i have to stand under your little cloud
just to get near you
baby can't you help this little girl
not to fear you
why don't you just talk
take me for a walk
through a little story

and tell me
why should i keep you
if you won't keep me
company?
