Negative love The radio's playing my request Negative love You lie before me unimpressed Why say yes? When you know all the ways to say "no" best? Please don't make an exception for me Don't make an exception There's no hope for me and you 'Cause I'm a little negative too Cynical you I see the look that's in your eyes Cynical you And it's saying I don't sympathize No surprise Only the naive believe in love and other lies and Please don't make an exception for me Don't make an exception There's no hope for me and you 'Cause I'm a little negative too I'm a little negative too We're the wrong side of one I should change my name to John (?) Or maybe we're onto something Could we end up positive after all? Please don't lower your standards for me Don't lower your standards There's no hope for me and you 'Cause I'm a little negative too There's nothing for me and you Cause I'm a little negative I'm a little cynical I'm a little negative I'm a little critical I'm a little negative too
