Dyslexic Heart

from Singles Soundtrack, Paul Westerberg, 1992



Na na na na, na na na na na na, na na na na, na

Na na na na, na na na na na na, Aw Aw Aww



You shoot me glances and they're so hard to read

I misconstrue what you mean

Slip me a napkin

and now that's a start

Is this your name or a doctor's eye chart?



I try and comprehend you but I've got a dyslexic heart

I ain't dyin to offend you

I got a dyslexic heart



Thanks for the book

On my table to study

This a library or a bar?

Between the covers

I judge you as ready

Half angel, half tart



I try and comprehend you but I've got a dyslexic heart

I ain't dyin to offend you

I got a dyslexic heart



Do I read you correctly,

You need me directly?

Help me with this part.

Do I date you?

Do I hate you?

Do I got a dyslexic heart?



You keep swaying

What are you saying?

Think about staying

Are you just playing makin passes?

Well my heart could use some glasses



Na na na na, na na na na na na, na na na na, na

Na na na na, na na na na na na, na na na na, na



dear heart, dear heart, dear heart, Aw Aw Aww



Are you staying?

What are you selling?

Are you swayin?

Are you just playing making passes?

Well my heart could use some glasses



I try and comprehend you

I got a dyslexic heart



Do I read you correctly,

You need me directly?

Help me with this part.

Do I love you?

Do I hate you?

I got a dyslexic heart?



dear heart, dear heart, dear heart, dear heart



Na na na na, na na na na na na . . . , [repeat to end]
