Lyrics

You could say I’m buttoned up
Same routine same coffee cup
I drive the same route to and from work
I do it for the money but my soul hurts
Then it’s time for a change
That’s when I call your name
You got no watch, and you got no strings
That’s why I like you

I depend on you to be undependable
You are reliably unreliable
When I’m with you I’m changed
Like my brain’s been rearranged
And for a while I’m not sensible

You never have any cash
You never have your own stash
It’s a given that you’ll be late
Don’t always pull your weight
But you’re a rebel, you’re a rogue
Like dynamite about to explode
I’ll light your fuse then me and you
Will have a damn good time

I depend on you to be undependable
You are reliably unreliable
You’re like the birds and the bees
Just doin’ as you please
With no guarantees, it’s admirable

I want to be a freewheeler
But I lack the nerve
I’m shackled to the chains
Of my reserve
It’s more likely than not
I’ll never be a bonne vivant
And I like your style, you make me smile
When you’re around

I depend on you to be undependable
You are reliably unreliable
You’re footloose and fancy free
And when it’s just you and me
For a while I’m not sensible
When I get too buttoned up
That’s when I’ll look you up
And for a while I’m not sensible
