YYY

Words and music ©1983, 1985, 2003 by Dave Caruso

Do I have to say everything four times?
Do I have to solve the perfect rhyme?
Do I have to say "I love you?"
What if just once I said "you'll do"
Can't we fall in love for half an hour?
Does that have to be forever too?

YYY
Why do I have to be so square?
YYY
I'm starting to think that you don't care
They're getting away with murder
And you don't bat an eye
If the ticket is selling out, don't count me in

I turned on my radio today
People don't sing like they talk these days
Everything is so cliche' now
You might give yourself away
Me, I'll hold out for a better offer
One that nobody will ever pay

YYY
Why do I have to be so square?
YYY
I'm starting to think that you don't care
They're getting away with murder
And you don't bat an eye
If the ticket is selling out, don't count me in

I guess I'll have to go back to my tapes
'Cause I can't dance 24 hours a day
I'm afraid this stuff is hurting my stereo (stereo)

Do I have to say everything four times?
I should think you'd catch it by the first or second line
I don't guess I fit your format--
All of my songs don't sound the same
I suppose you play by number
Easy money is your claim-to-fame
Art-to-industry is such a shame
I gotta sweat before I add my name
I don't think I wanna play your game

YYY
Why do I have to be so square?
YYY
I'm starting to think that you're nowhere
They're getting away with murder
And you don't bat an eye
If you're looking for some way out, then tune me in
