They Might Be Giants — Say Nice Things About Detroit

I always was the one to leave I had no rehearsal For this role reversal Say nice things about Detroit The way you left you were a big big jerk There I was anticipating Some kind of love I'm still waiting It's like it was just last week I tell myself but it wasn't Dressing up and making plans I'm so bad at staying friends [Chorus] Say something nice Say it again Say something nice Say it again I'd never known a libertine But you sure were thirsty Then it gets all murky Say nice things about Detroit Remember standing in the doorway Private words and holding hands Can't you pretend to pretend? Say nice things about Detroit The way you left you were a big big jerk There I was anticipating some kind of love I'm still waiting [Chorus] Say something nice Say it again Say something nice Say it again
