lyrics

When are you going to get off
Of my answering machine
So I can listen to the messages you left for me
'Bout how you're still thinking about our conversation
And what you're going to do
With all the time on your hands
When you're alone?
I think you're calling to say
That you're calling to say
That you're calling to say
That you're calling to say
That you're calling
Well, I know that

Why don't you write it on a little yellow post-it
And stick it on your face
Someplace I would maybe notice
(Write in English just in case)
Somewhere lower, on your sweater
Wear it next to your heart
Where it will shout
You know my name
So please wear it out.

Just write it on a little yellow post-it
And make it triplicate
Write it with a magic marker
With your blood or with your spit
Leave it carved upon my pillow
Leave it written in stone
Leave me a clue, give me a sign
Don't leave me wond'ring alone.
Write it on a little yellow post-it, etc.

You don't need to pound down my door
With a battering ram.
Or skywrite all your secrets from an aeroplane.
Just wish I knew what that head of yours was thinking.
And what your eyes are saying
When they look that way,
Before they look away
I think they're trying to tell me
They're trying to say
That you're trying to tell me
You're trying to say
That you're trying to tell me
You're trying to say
Well, then, say it.
Or better yet...

Just write it on a little yellow post-it
And stick it on your face
Someplace I would maybe notice
(Write in English just in case)
Somewhere lower, on your sweater
Wear it next to your heart
Where it will shout
You know my name
So please wear it out.

Just write it on a little yellow post-it
And make it triplicate
Write it with a magic marker
With your blood or with your spit
Leave it carved upon my pillow
Leave it written in stone
Leave me a clue, give me a sign
Don't leave me wond'ring alone.

Send it on a little yellow post-it
That's easy to receive
Lay your cards out on the table
Don't hide something up your sleeve
The more obvious the better
Use whatever words do the trick
And better make it snappy
To make it stick.

Write it on a little yellow post-it, etc.
