true zero hook

try to tell you 'bout a thing I heard
try to tell you, but
I couldn't speak a word

and it's not your style
to sit around and wait a while

and you've never done anything wrong
and you act so innocent
and your feet don't point the same way

can you turn yourself inside out
when you sit and pout?

you're breaking something
but it's not my heart
you can call it angry art (?)

and you've never done anything wrong
and you act so innocent
but your feet don't point the same way

when I hold you in my arms
I can't stop trembling

and you've never done anything wrong
worth remembering

and it's not my heart
and it's not my heart
and it's not my heart

and you've never done anything wrong
and you act so innocent
but your feet
don't point the same way

and it's not my heart

you should see yourself the way I do
true zero hook
you should see yourself
a zero hook
the wayI do

see yourself the way I do
the way I do
the way I do
see yourself
I see myself

So this is a song by Small 23 that I loved in 1994 and looked up. I found the video and watched it a million times and tried to transcribe lyrics and type them in the most pseudopoetic ee cummings style I could muster. mission accomplished.

maybe there's a line that's been in the back of my head lately... there must be some explanation as I haven't thought of this song in nearly a decade.
