You said that I could be the one for you.

But you can't seem to see your way clear to let your love come through

I waited every night to feel your touch

How could you not know that I needed you so much

Mixed Messages, never mean the same

Mixed Messages, calling out my name

Mixed Messages, but who is there to blame

When the sender is the listener, the destination is the same

You said you thought I was someone who'd understand

You shared your soul with me and took me by the hand

The love we shared that night was off the Rio Grande

I never dreamed that it would lead me to where I am

Mixed Messages, I listen for your name

Mixed Messages, I'll never be the same

Mixed Messages, but who is there to blame

When the talker is the listener, the destination is the same

You told me one thing, but you're meanin' something else

I'd call it lyin', but you cover it so well

You know exactly just how to say what I want to hear,
