lyrics

Oh, two two oh
I tried to get beyond the news
That you know loads
Of men in beds
Not flower beds
Inconvenient Ruth
Not the version I wanted

Oh, two two oh
I tried to dial your number with my nose
But you were out
Like you're always out
And there's no self improvement
Inconvenient Ruth
Not the version I wanted

Oh, two two oh
We got ahead of ourselves
In hard times act tough
Those experiments in love were good for us
Just not the version I wanted
Inconvenient Ruth
Inconvenient Ruth

Oh, two two oh
I am not Lou Reed
I took a wrap of speed
But I could not keep up
Look up
At least not the version I wanted
Inconvenient Ruth
It's the attention economy
Look up, look up
Inconvenient Ruth

Inconvenient Ruth
Inconvenient Ruth
Inconvenient Ruth
