Lyrics

(CN.C.)How come you al ways wind up chang ing your di (Bm9)rect ion?

(CN.C.)How come you al ways end up dan cing through the room?

(CN.C.)How come you al ways nev er want to use pro (Bm9)tec tion?

(CN.C.)How come you’re float ing like a he li um bal loon?

to trol.

I can’t keep up,

you’re mov ing too fast.

I got to (F#7)know then you bring me is this gon na last.

’Cause I can’t tell (F#7)whe ther you’re

up or you’re down.

This whole si tu (F#7)a tion is spin ning me round.

Spin ning me round.

Spin ning me round.

(CN.C.)How come you al ways end up chang ing your in (Bm9)ten tions?

(CN.C.)How come you al ways wind up blow ing hot and cold.

(CN.C.)One min ute hon est then you’re full of false pre (Bm9)ten sion.

(CN.C.)Head in the clouds but still you’re des perate to con trol,

to trol.

I just don’t know

what mov to be lieve.

You me up (F#7)and then you bring me down on my na knees.

You say you want (F#7)me then you’re

up and you’re gone.

I got to know (F#7)just where you’re com ing me from.

Spin ning me round.

Spin ning me round.

Com ing from,

where you’re com ing from.

See, I got to know be fore it’s (C#m)o ver,

one way or the oth er, if you’re (C#m)string ing (B)me a (A)long.

How come,

how come.

(CN.C.)How come you al ways wind up chang ing your di (B)rec tion.
