lyrics

(ask me)

You keep leaving gaps for me to walk into
It's a good technique, I taught it to myself
Silence is a question if you hold it long enough
And you have held this one since August, on the shelf

Ask me properly (ask me)
Words, out loud, ask me properly
I will not volunteer, ask me
Ask me

Ask me properly, ask me properly
I have never once said what I wanted first
Ask me properly, ask me properly
Say the sentence with a verb in it, ask me

I negotiate for other people brilliantly
I read page forty-one when nobody else would
And in my own life I have never made an offer
And I would very much like to be pursued

That's the whole confession. It's embarrassing and it's true.
I am extremely competent and I need to be asked.
Nobody has ever asked. So: ask me. Properly.
(bass returns)

Ask me properly, ask me properly
I have never once said what I wanted first
Ask me properly, ask me properly
Say the sentence with a verb in it, ask me

(ask me...)
