Stalemate
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Did I let you down? No
Did I give you up? No
So what's it all about now?
Was it not enough?
No, no, no
It's alright, yeah
It's okay, yeah
It's alright with me
I'll be fine, yeah
I don't mind, yeah
I'll pretend at least
But if you give me something that I believe in
Give me something and I will wait
But if you give me nothing
I can't help feeling I'm in stalemate with you
Stalemate with you
Used to pick me up, yeah
Like a sunken pill
And I've been thinking it through
And we worked so well
But it feels wrong, yeah
When I'm strung along, yeah
Strung along by you
And the words you say, yeah
Just to get your way, yeah
Well they just won't do
You got to...
Give me something that I believe in
Give me something and I will wait
But if you give me nothing
I can't help feeling I'm in stalemate with you
Oh I'm in stalemate
Oh I'm in stalemate, baby
(Stalemate with you)
I need more
I need more
What are you waiting for?
It's so frustrating
(So frustrating, baby)
You got to...
(Yeah)
I'm so frustrated with your love
What you're doing to me
Oh, yeah, yeah
Hey
You got me in stalemate
Oooh
Hey, hey, hey
You got me in stalemate
Hey yeah
Oooh, don't mug me, baby
Don't mug me, love
You breakin' my heart now
Don't you break my heart, no
Don't you break my heart
