Verse 1:
Millicent:
I see you sittin' there
With your smug, self-satisfied, supercilious grin
And I say to myself
“That man is not to be trusted”
Jack:
I see you sittin' there
Jewelry made of hemp
Your clothes are made of hemp
I bet your shoes are too
And I say to myself
“Girls like that ruin everything for the rest of us”
Chorus 1:
Both:
But something in your eyes
Takes me by surprise
My mind says, “No”
But my heart is hard of hearing
Verse 2:
Millicent:
I don't need this
My family needs my help
I'm doin' just fine
Just doin' my thing
People tell me I inspire them
To make the most of themselves
Jack:
Well, I don't want this
You know that I'm worth millions
Women throw themselves at me
Like they're throwin' confetti
Chorus 1
Both:
But something in your eyes
Takes me by surprise
My mind says, “No”
But my heart is hard of hearing
Bridge:
Both:
You seem like a terrible person
But I'm attracted to you anyway
My heart works in mysterious ways
But I can't fight it
Looks like I'm gonna light it on fire

Verse 3:
Both:
I should walk away
Nothing good can come of this
I do not approve of this
You don't respect me
Chorus 2:
Both:
But something in your eyes
Takes me by surprise
My mind says, “No”
But my heart is hard of hearing
And easy of feeling
Yes, my mind says, “No”
But my heart is hard of hearing
And easy of feeling
[Half time]
Yes, my mind says, “No”
But my heart is hard of hearing
