Someone tells me somethin'--
Well I'm prepared to listen
Nothin's goin' on, nothin's goin' on
Standing next to no one,
Well that was my intention
Nothin's goin' on, nothin's goin' on
But then you're back and I'm guessing it's not so bad at all

And I've been standing slackjawed since you were here
Yea, I've been standing slackjawed

Something says this may be the strangest light I'll mention--
Someone left you on, someone left you on
Saying next to nothing--the words were my invention
Someone left you on, someone left you on
And now you're here and I'm thinking it's not so bad at all

And I've been standing slackjawed since you were here
Yea, I've been standing slackjawed
