Finger on the Button

I touched a nerve and made you jump

I sounded so unkind

A wild effect might come and hide

Upon your troubled mind

I could have used a little tact

Instead of speaking out

Your temperament was much too quick and hot

Finger on the button,

You're ready to shoot me down

Waiting to set the world on fire

Finger on the button,

You're waiting to shoot me down

Some things I say

Are not meant to be taken that way

You took my words so literally

It made you look the fool

But obstinence should not incite

Such sweet revenge so cruel

But having taken orders

I will apologize

But don't you think it's time we really tried?

Hold it back

Hold it back

Remember I'm a friend
