It was just a sidewalk seein' eye dog
She was not my shade of blonde
And if the two of us were boxin'
She would have you on the ropes
And blue is not the word I'm feelin'
And red is all I want to see
He could've let me down easy
But no
Mixed signals that break my back
I could have wheelbarrowed you for miles
The bad place at the right time
If you could have let me down
It was not your intention to pull me out
I could read your mind from then
It was only a costume party
Devil horns and angel wings
And you were not quite right for me
Or so I told myself
He could've let me down gently
But no
Mixed signals that break my back
I could have wheelbarrowed you for miles
The bad place at the right time
If you could have let me down
No_nothing
I don't wanna hear that word
& no
Don't ever make me see that again
I would sign a contract with the devil
Just to make sure of the best
We took it to the hospital
Where they burn the babies as they're born
And I apologize for
Mixed signals that break my back (Ow)
I could have wheelbarrowed you for miles
The bad place at the right time
If you could have let me down
