Classic love story true to his western tx roots. One of my favorites as a story, but I think there are alot of songs that are amazing not even listed on this site. I guess I should figure out how to add them, because I have about 8 REK cd's.
You say it's not what you do,
It's what you're thinkin' of
Well I think it's just an excuse
It's what you put across
And I don't wanna be the one
Only overjoyed
Yeah I don't wanna be the one
Makin' all the noise
Yeah I don't wanna be the one
So make sure you're thinkin' it through
You've let me down again
Offer me somethin'
I know you really meant
And I don't wanna be the one
Only overjoyed
Yeah I don't wanna be the one
Makin' all the noise
Yeah I don't wanna be the one
Hey!
What you gonna offer now?
And I don't wanna be the one
Only overjoyed
Yeah I don't wanna be the one
Makin' all the noise
Yeah I don't wanna be the one
Hey!
What you gonna offer now?
What you gonna offer now?
What you gonna offer now?
This was not my idea
Don't you keep me waitin'
This was not my idea
Don't you keep me waitin'
This was not my idea
Don't you keep me waitin'
It's what you're thinkin' of
Well I think it's just an excuse
It's what you put across
And I don't wanna be the one
Only overjoyed
Yeah I don't wanna be the one
Makin' all the noise
Yeah I don't wanna be the one
So make sure you're thinkin' it through
You've let me down again
Offer me somethin'
I know you really meant
And I don't wanna be the one
Only overjoyed
Yeah I don't wanna be the one
Makin' all the noise
Yeah I don't wanna be the one
Hey!
What you gonna offer now?
And I don't wanna be the one
Only overjoyed
Yeah I don't wanna be the one
Makin' all the noise
Yeah I don't wanna be the one
Hey!
What you gonna offer now?
What you gonna offer now?
What you gonna offer now?
This was not my idea
Don't you keep me waitin'
This was not my idea
Don't you keep me waitin'
This was not my idea
Don't you keep me waitin'

He reuses the verse melody from the previous album's "Dirty Little Religion", the topics of the verses are all over the place, and he packs too many words into one line (goes to show...) and too few in another (it's pretty hard to find), and rhymes "Henley Regatta" with "Persona non grata", but gets away with it all as only he could.

This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.
I agree. I think it's about a girl who loves her boyfriend and realized that the feelings don't seem to be mutual. I think everyone can relate to that. I know I can.
love this song. my fav of the album
I think this song is about a couple where the girl is so happy she's with the guy and the guy is kinda like "whatever". And it seems as though the girl is confronting the guy about it.
I love this song!
I think thats plausible stayxawake and it's the song on the album I like best too... great song :0
A girl who's boyfriend is very dull but kind, I think.
I can totally relate to this song. Getting tired of being the one who takes initiative in a relationship that really needs its flame rekindled. Chu kno? :D
Me lyk~
this song kind of sounds like a blondie song, "sunday girl," with the oooh in the background idk. i love this song!
I'm wondering why in the video Katie starts off waking up in a hospital bed and escaping from hospital. The song is quite sad, like as if she's only recently admitted to herself that he hasn't been taking much interest in things between them. She was besotted by love too much to notice his indifference.
such a cute song, i love it!!!
...they do just sound like a bit of a CSS tribute.... but never mind.
