I couldn't believe it When you said I had been programmed To miss you when you go away To be indignant when you stay away To worry about things the proper length of time Well-taught emotionally Girl does this - tell her it's wrong That's the thing to do Girl does that - tell her it's wrong That's the thing to do If you love them you need them So stop trying to free them That's the thing to do That's not the thing to do I couldn't believe it When you said you needed no one You're a stubborn man I think you're antisocial Whatever that is You're supposed to care about your brother It's not right to be so cold Come to me if you can be quiet Come little one If you can be still You say - there's so much more to do Than get caught up on every issue It's puppet city out there truly
