Lyrics[]
[Verse 1]
I'm absent-minded all of the time
Mingling with thoughts that confuse my brain
So I can give you a thousand questions
But can't expect a smart conversation
[Chorus]
I really (really) can't help it
Everything's so complicated
I really (really) can't help it
Everything's so complicated
[Verse 2]
And I, I wanna know
I wanna know, wanna help
I'm never satisfied
When in fact, I'm working from nine to five
Pretending there's a kind of sense in what I do
I wanna know, I wanna know
[Bridge]
People get weary and avoid my appearance
I'm looking in vain for any alliance
When everyone talks, there's a kind of profession
I'm searchin' mine, there sure ain't nothin'
[Chorus]
But I really (really) can't help it (help it)
Everything's so complicated
I really (really) can't help it (help it)
Everything's so complicated
[Verse 3]
And I, I wanna know
I wanna know, wanna help
I'm singin' of love
When in fact, I don't know what
I'm talking about
Pretending there's a kind of sense in what I do
I wanna know, I wanna know
[Instrumental break]
[Reprise]
I'm absent-minded all of the time
Mingling with the thoughts that confuse my brain
So I can give you a thousand questions
But can't expect a smart conversation
[Chorus]
I really (really) can't help it (help it)
Everything's so complicated
I really (really) can't help it (help it)
Everything's so complicated
[Outro]
And I, I wanna know
I wanna know, wanna help
I'm never satisfied
When in fact, I'm working from nine to five
Pretending there's a kind of sense in what I do
I wanna know, I wanna know
