Who's Keeping You Entertained?

Verse

I didn't book a thing for Friday.

You asked what we were going to do.

I said, "I thought I'd leave you to it."

(Go on)

You laughed. I waited. So did you.

By ten you said I seemed distracted.

By twelve you asked if we were fine.

You used to call me unpredictable.

You've had me scheduled for some time.

(How convenient)

Prechorus

I know the joke that gets you laughing.

I know the stunt that gets you keen.

Tonight I'm finding out what happens

When I don't pull something from my sleeve.

(Check it yourself)

Chorus

Who's keeping you entertained?

(Who? Who?)

Who's making ordinary feel insane?

You say we've lost the spark—

Go on, tell me which part

You were planning to create.

(I'm listening)

I'm not asking for a standing ovation.

I'm asking you to participate.

(Get up!)

Who's keeping you entertained?

Your turn.

I can wait.

(Tick, tick)

Verse

You said, "You used to be more reckless."

I said, "You used to come along."

Now every place I pick is too far,

And every band I like is wrong.

(Then pick one!)

You want the story come the morning,

But never want to miss your sleep.

You tell your friends I'm hard to handle.

You haven't had to handle me.

(Try keeping up)

Prechorus

I nearly reached across to kiss you,

Turn the whole thing into play.

I caught myself halfway towards you.

You asked why I was acting strange.

(Almost got away with it)

Chorus

Who's keeping you entertained?

(Who? Who?)

Who's making ordinary feel insane?

You say we've lost the spark—

Go on, tell me which part

You were planning to create.

(Any second now)

I'm not asking for a standing ovation.

I'm asking you to participate.

(Get up!)

Who's keeping you entertained?

Your turn.

I can wait.

(Can you?)

Bridge

I liked the way you watched me.

I liked being the one

Who could drag you through a lousy week

And make the whole thing fun.

But once I said that I was tired,

You asked what happened to that girl.

She's sitting right across from you.

(Right here)

Ask her something.

Let her finish.

(Let her finish)

Solo

(Oh, now you're awake!)

Breakdown

"Where do you want to go?"

You choose.

"What do you want to do?"

Surprise me.

"Why are you making this

Final Chorus

Who's keeping you entertained?

(Who's doing all the work?)

Who's taking over when I need a break?

You say you miss the spark—

I miss not having to ask

If you're glad you came.

(Are you?)

I don't need another spectator.

I need someone who gets in the way

When I try to do it all again.

(Don't let me)

Who's keeping you entertained?

Your turn.

Give me a reason to stay.

(Make it good)

Outro

You said, "I thought you liked the attention."

I do.

I'd like some now.

(Your move)
