Pencil & Paper

I know you, I think I can say, I know you

I know you, but in a way I'm not too sure

'Cause I can never say for certain, if you're gonna laugh or cry

I don't know for certain, if you're gonna vote left or right

I don't know for sure 'cause I never know what you do

It's my conclusion that you can't figure people

Not with pencil and paper, na na na na na na na

I said off the top of my head

Pencil and paper, na na na na na na na na na

I see you, I think I can say I see you, I see you, mmm

I see you, but in a way I'm not too sure

I know a man whose father beat him, he's a poet on a folk guitar

A nice girl from Sweden, she's a thief in Zanzibar

One man is poor while his brother is well to do

It's my conclusion that you can't figure people

Not with pencil and paper, na na na na na na na

I said off the top of my head

I used to believe you could figure it out

Whatever it was that you figured about

But the older I got and the more that I saw

I said science and people just don't mix at all

A man whose father beat him, he's a poet on a folk guitar

A nice girl from Sweden, she's a thief in Zanzibar

One man is poor while his brother is well to do

It's my conclusion that you can't figure people without some confusion

Not with pencil and paper, na na na na na na na

I said off the top of my head

Pencil and paper, na na na na na na na na na

Not with pencil and paper, na na na na na na na

I said off the top of my head
