Don't know what it is you want from me, babe
Don't know what song it is I'm supposed to play
But even though I'm singing out of key, babe
I mean every single word I say
In a minor way, in a minor way

I know those little words I haven't spoken
Have driven better men than I insane
I see no need to fix what isn't broken
The two of us have such a winning game
In a minor way, in a minor way

In a minor way
You're nearly always on my mind
I love you almost all the time
I absolutely for the most part can say

In a minor way
Better would be hard to find
So tell me that you'll always stay
In a minor way

Subtract reality from expectation
Subtract a little more from what is left
Add a bit of me to your equation
A winning formula for happiness
In a minor way, in a minor way

In a minor way
You're nearly always on my mind
I love you almost all the time
I absolutely for the most part can say

In a minor way
It isn't what you had in mind
But telling me that you'll always stay
In a minor way
