verse
I tried your number at 9, but to no avail
Tried again at 11, got sent straight to voicemail
You said you needed a calm, quiet night alone
But that don't explain why you're not picking up the phone
Now I'm driving through the city like a bullet in my seat
And I hold my breath when I hit your street
You were restless when you told me everything was alright
chorus
You're gonna tell me where you've been
Don't spare me the details, I wanna know
Thought you wanted to make this work
But you're sending me mixed signals
verse
You greet me and I'm overcome
'Cause your body language is speaking in another tongue
First you tell me that you needed some excitement in your life
Then you grab the handle and turn the knife
Accusations of obsessive misbehaviour
Like we ain't been down to hell and back
chorus
You're gonna tell me where you've been
Don't spare me details, I wanna know
Thought you wanted to make this work
But you're sending me mixed signals
chorus
You're gonna tell me where you've been
Don't sugarcoat it, girl, I want the blow by blow
Thought you wanted to make this work
But you're sending me mixed signals
Yeah, sending me mixed signals
outro
Darling, darling believe me
Know that, no, you don't need me
Break up, you know it won't please me
Sweetheart, let me down easy
Cut me loose, baby, don't tease me
Oh Lord, let me down easy
