That's Just What You Are lyrics
by Aimee Mann



(one two)In our endeavor we are never seeing eye to eyeNo guts to sever so forever may we wave goodbyeAnd you're always telling me that it's my turn to moveWhen I wonder what could make the needle jump the grooveI won't fall for the oldest trick in the bookSo don't sit there and think you're off of the hookBy saying there is no use changing 'causeThat's just what you areThat's just what you areActing steady always ready to defend your fearsWhat's the matter with the truth, did I offend your earsBy suggesting that a change might be a thing to tryLike it would kill you just to try and be a nicer guyIt's not like you would lose some critical pieceIf somehow you moved point a to point bMaintaining there is no point changing 'causeThat's just what you areThat's just what you areNow I could talk to you till I'm blue in the faceBut we still would arrive at the very same placeWith you running around and me out of the race-very cool keyboard (mellotron? ) solo-So maybe you're right, nobody can takeSomething older than time and hope you could makeIt better, that would be a mistakeSo take it just so far'cause that's just what you areThat's just what you areThat's just what you areActing steady always ready to defend your fearsWhat's the matter with the truth, did I offend your earsYou're like a sleepwalking man, it's a danger to wake youEven when it is apparent where your actions will take youThat's just what you areAnd that's just what you areThat's just what you areThat's just what you are
