She Makes the World Turn Backwards Lyrics
Impolite and insecure
And in spite of it all
He thinks you're perfect
You're fully focused, honey
On the prize
Hold his hand, dear
Until he cries...uncle
Where does it hurt?
(Everywhere)
Can you stand up?
(I don't care)
Are you worried, worried?
(Yes!)
There's no explaining her behavior
(We know, we know, we know)
She makes the world turn backwards
Like a liar lost
Everything she does, yeah
Cleave yourself in two
And neither one is you
Black and blue
And that's the way it is with you
The worst is yet to come
The crowds are yelling "jump, jump you fool"
Where does it hurt?
(Everywhere)
Can you stand up?
(I don't care)
Are you worried, worried?
(Yes!)
There's no explaining her behavior
(We know, we know, we know)
She makes the world turn backwards
There's no explaining her behavior
She makes the world turn backwards
There's no explaining her behavior
She makes the world turn backwards
There's no explaining her behavior
She makes the world turn backwards
We know, we know, we know
And in spite of it all
He thinks you're perfect
On the prize
Hold his hand, dear
Until he cries...uncle
(Everywhere)
Can you stand up?
(I don't care)
Are you worried, worried?
(Yes!)
There's no explaining her behavior
(We know, we know, we know)
She makes the world turn backwards
Everything she does, yeah
Cleave yourself in two
And neither one is you
And that's the way it is with you
The worst is yet to come
The crowds are yelling "jump, jump you fool"
(Everywhere)
Can you stand up?
(I don't care)
Are you worried, worried?
(Yes!)
There's no explaining her behavior
(We know, we know, we know)
There's no explaining her behavior
There's no explaining her behavior
There's no explaining her behavior
We know, we know, we know

The song was initially based on the reaction of a friend going through a divorce. He said so on last night's Fresh Air show on NPR (12/4/13).
