Now I′m black and blue
You always got an explanationSome hesitation, oh I know
There's no need for all this tension
You′re not addressing, but I know
You're talking with your body
But your lips are saying different words
You speak a different language
Don't you understand how bad it hurts me?
So tell me what you want, tell me what you need
Tell me what you′re feeling when you′re looking at me
Tell me what to say, maybe it's too soon
Swimming through the gray, but I can′t find you
Now I'm black and blue
Now I′m black and blue
You say that you just don't believe me
But now you′re leaving alone
But baby listen, do you hear me
When I speak clearly 'bout what I want
You're talking with your body
But your lips are saying different words
You speak a different language
Don′t you understand how bad it hurts me?
So tell me what you want, tell me what you need
Tell me what you′re feeling when you're looking at me
Tell me what to say, maybe it′s too soon
Swimming through the gray, but I can't find you
Now I′m black and blue
Now I'm black and blue
Now I′m black and blue
Now I'm black and blue
Now I'm black and blue
Now I′m black and blue
Now I′m black and blue
Now I'm black and blue
Now I′m black and blue
Now I'm black and blue
So tell me what you want, tell me what you need
Tell me what you′re feeling when you're looking at me
Tell me what to say, maybe it′s too soon
Swimming through the gray, but I can't find you
Now I'm black and blue
Now I′m black and blue
Now I′m black and blue
Now I'm black and blue
Now I′m black and blue
Now I'm black and blue
