Mixed Signals Songtext / Lyric

I tried your number at 9 but you're not there

Tried again at 11, got sent straight to voicemail

You said you needed a calm, quiet night alone

But that don't explain why you're not picking up the phone

Now I'm driving through the city like a bullet in my seat

And I hold my breath when I hit your street

Your receptionist told me everything was alright

One quiet night alone and nothing is wrong



How come you're not home

When it's almost 3AM

When you decide to show?

You're gonna tell me where you've been

Don't spare me details, I wanna know

What does it look like?

What does it talk like?

Thought you wanted to make this work

But you're sending me mixed signals






We know that emotion

You greet me and I'm overcome

'Cause your body language is speaking in another tongue

First you tell me that you needed some excitement in your life

Then you grab my hand, I'm turned alive

Accusations, I'm obsessive, misbehaving

Like we ain't been down to hell and back

And made it through



I thought that was you

When it's almost 3AM

When you decide to show

You're gonna tell me where you've been

Don't spare me details, I wanna know

What does it look like?

What does it talk like?

Thought you wanted to make this work

But you're sending me mixed signals



And in the dusk we fall apart

The sun's got his elbow

In the rib cage of town

I'm breaking down



And it's almost 3AM

When you decide to show

You're gonna tell me where you've been

Don't sugarcoat it, girl, I want the blow by blow

What does it look like?

What does it talk like?

Thought you wanted to make this work

But you're sending me mixed signals

Yeah, sending me mixed signals



Darling, darling believe me

No [?], no, you don't need me

Wake up, you know I want you there

Sweetheart, let me down easy

Cut me loose, baby, don't tease me

Oh Lord, let me down easy

Sending me mixed signals
