Lyrics to Ditto
LyricsSuggest a correction ↗
[Verse 1]
Well, you don't like my politics
You're not impressed with my magic tricks
You call cruel my rapier wit
Think my poetry is drivel
Well, I don't care for your style of clothes
Your choice of food turns up my nose
And when it comes to love and hate, then I suppose
We're both somewhere in the middle
[Chorus]
But when you say
"I want you," I say, "Ditto"
"I need you," I say, "Ditto"
No, I'm not kidding you, kiddo
Right here we got devotion
Let me second your motion, ditto
[Verse 2]
You don't like my old pick-up truck
Or the things I'll do to make a buck
The fact I seem always down on my luck
Frightens you a little
Well, I don't always get your attitude
Your condescension can be flat-out rude
Where this is leading is like your mood
Something like a riddle
[Chorus]
But when you say
"I want you," I say, "Ditto"
(I want you, I say)
"I need you," I say, "Ditto"
(I need you, I say)
No, I'm not kidding you, kiddo
(Ooh-whoo-ooh)
Right here we got devotion
Let me second your motion, ditto
[Bridge]
We got in common that we don't have much in common
Ah, but these distractions are just a fraction
Of what you and me
Apparently been wanting
[Verse 3]
Why must you always mock my guitar licks
My metaphors, my puns and quips?
You don't like my friends, you call them hicks
It's your penchant to belittle
And you act like it's a favor when you hang around
And you never show affection to my old hound
You don't eat your hot cakes 'til they've cooled down
I like 'em hot off the griddle
[Chorus]
But when you say
"I want you," I say, "Ditto"
(I want you, I say)
"I need you," I say, "Ditto"
(I need you, I say)
No, I'm not kidding you, kiddo
(Ooh-whoo-ooh)
Right here we got devotion
Let me second your motion
[Chorus]
"I want you," I say, "Ditto"
(I want you, I say)
"I need you," I say, "Ditto"
(Ditto)
(I need you, I say)
No, I'm not kidding you, kiddo
(Ooh-whoo-ooh)
Right here we got devotion
Let me second your motion, ditto
Well, you don't like my politics
