Business Transaction Lyrics
If I told you how I feel
If I told you, you would run away
Everybody wants to be loved
Just not by anybody who does
You take what you need
I'll take what I need
Business transaction
You're pretending to really be alive
But the truth is you're scared all the time
We should end this, walk away unscathed
You'll never know me, we'd both be saving face
Nice to meet you, what a precious time we had
Good luck next time, hope you don't feel too bad
You take what you need
I'll take what I need (Nice to meet you, what a precious time we had)
Business transaction (Good luck next time, hope you don't feel too bad)
Hope you don't feel too bad
If I told you, you would run away
Everybody wants to be loved
Just not by anybody who does
I'll take what I need
Business transaction
But the truth is you're scared all the time
We should end this, walk away unscathed
You'll never know me, we'd both be saving face
Good luck next time, hope you don't feel too bad
I'll take what I need (Nice to meet you, what a precious time we had)
Business transaction (Good luck next time, hope you don't feel too bad)

At one level, the song seems to be FWB playing chicken to become a committed couple.
At another level, the song is about virtually every interpersonal relationship being nothing but impersonal business transaction.
