How do you cool your lips, after a summer's kiss? How do you rid the sweat, after the body's bliss? How do you turn your eyes, from the romantic glare? How do you block the sound Of a voice you'd know anywhere? Oh, I really should have known By the time you drove me home By the vagueness in your eyes, your casual good-byes By the chill in your embrace The expression on your face, told me Maybe, you might have some advice to give How to be insensitive, insensitive ooh, insensitive How do you numb your skin, after the warmest touch? How do you slow your blood, after the body rush? How do you free your soul, after you've found a friend? How do you teach your heart It's a crime to fall in love again? Oh, you probably won't remember me It's probably ancient history I'm one of the chosen few Who went ahead and fell for you I'm out of vogue, I'm out of touch I fell too fast I feel too much I thought that you might have some advice to give, How to be insensitive Oh, I really should have known By the time you drove me home By the vagueness in your eyes, your casual good-byes By the chill in your embrace The expression on your face, told me Maybe, you might have some advice to give How to be insensitive, insensitive ooh, insensitive
