Mixed Messages

The Bangles

You're sending me mixed messages
Mixed messages that I can hardly work through
Where the heart lies
Which message is coming truly from you
When I get too close to you
I feel the fear, can almost hear it
Then you call me late at night saying can I be with you
I wanna be with you
You're sending me mixed messages
Mixed messages that I can hardly work through
Where the heart lies
Which message is coming truly from you
You keep your thoughts to yourself
You keep me guessing while we're undressing
Then you're gone for days on end and
Here we go again
Here we go again
You're sending me mixed messages
Mixed messages that I can hardly work through
Where the heart lies
Which message is coming truly from you

It can't keep bouncing around like this
You cut me loose then pull me in for a kiss
If you know what you want
Why don't you tell me, clearly
Wonder why it bothers me
I wonder why I even wonder why

If I had another lover, well, would it get to you
Would I get through
This puzzle of mixed messages
Mixed messages, that I can hardly work through
Where the heart lies
Which message is coming truly from you

You're sending me mixed messages
Mixed messages that I can hardly work through
Where the heart lies
Which message is coming truly from you
