Why You Wanna Know

V5.5

(Yeah, alright...) You keep showin' up with that same little grin Got a notebook full of questions, wanna dig right in I just lean on the counter, take my time to reply Give you half a sentence, let the other half hang dry Every word you chase, I let it slip away You think you're gettin' closer, but I like the game I play The more you push, the less I say, ain't that a twist? Got you hangin' on a word that doesn't even exist Why you wanna know, what I never tell? I could give you everything, but I like it in the well You're readin' my face like it's a book on a shelf But I'm writin' new pages just to fool yourself (Na-na-na... keep on wonderin') You asked me where I'm headed, I said "up to the moon" You asked me what I'm thinkin', I said "maybe soon" Every answer I hand you is a riddle dressed up nice You take it home and turn it over, roll it twice The pressure in your voice, it's a rhythm I know But I ain't breakin' tempo, just lettin' you go slow You think the punchline's comin', maybe it is, maybe not I'm just holdin' the dice while you read every spot ] Why you wanna know, what I never tell? I could give you everything, but I like it in the well You're readin' my face like it's a book on a shelf But I'm writin' new pages just to fool yourself (Na-na-na... keep on wonderin') One of these days you'll look back and laugh At how you spun your wheels chasin' half a draft But tonight I'm still smilin' with my cards held tight You can ask all you want, I'm enjoyin' the night Why you wanna know, what I never tell? (Never tell) I could give you everything, but I like it in the well (In the well) You're readin' my face like it's a book on a shelf But I'm writin' new pages just to fool yourself (Keep on... keep on wonderin') Yeah... maybe I'll tell ya tomorrow. Or maybe I won't. Anyway...
