lyrics

We've been together
For a while already
In every weather
We going' in an out while
Holding the hands
My heart is sinking every time
I realize that you so damn fine

You've been the dealer
Of my infatuation
Hooking me stronger
With every touch and look
I'm on the love boat
And it's gliding so smooth
... But there's a question that is bothering me...
(...why don't you...)

You don't ask me how I'm doing (oh, oh!)
You don't ask me what is up
I dunno for sure
Maybe it's alright
Feeling insecure
There's nothing to fight about but
You don't ask me how I'm doing

When we talk (Aha!)
I don't speak I listen
Tellin' me about your day
Telling me ur reasons
What's on your mind, baby
Leave it behind, baby
I'm all ears
When you're expressing your fears
But why our love symphony sounds so monophonic
Us taking only one-way streets seems to be chronic

Maybe it's not my fault
Maybe it's not your fault
Maybe sometimes you need to put the talking to a halt
You kiss me
Tenderly
I turn to you and try to tell you what I saw
And you start reaching for your phone (Oh no!)

You don't ask me how I'm doing
You don't ask me what is up
You don't ask me how I'm doing
Will our love boat fall apart?

Birds and bees and
Grass growing on thees and elephants
And the tiny fleas on elephants' backs

Humming, rhyming
Chit-chatting and crisscrossing the drumming
Give ear to the intensifying sound

You don't ask me how I'm doing
You don't ask me what is up
You don't ask me how I'm doing
Will our love boat, will it fall apart?

Let's get back to where we've been
Settle down, rusticate
you know what I mean, right?
If the birds can do it so can we
Loosen up, turn some grey
into green energy

Put your phone aside dear
And ask me what's up
A lot's happened since our last talk
three hundred years ago
so prepare your ears,
and put your gear on the five
It's gonna be a run
For the Sun
