Lyrics for No Action

I don't wanna kiss you I don't wanna touch I don't wanna see you 'Cause I don't miss you that much I'm not a telephone junkie I told you that we were just good friends But when I hold you like I hold That Bakelite in my hands There's no action There's no action There's no action And ev'ry time I phone you I just wanna put you down He's got the keys to the car They are the keys to the kingdom He's got ev'rything you need It's a shame that he didn't bring them I'm not a telephone junkie If I'm inserting my coin I'm doing just fine And the things in my head Start hurtin' my mind And I think about the way things used to be Knowing you with him is driving me crazy Sometimes I phone you when I know you're not lonely But I always disconnect it in time There's no action There's no action There's no action And ev'ry time I phone you I just wanna put you And ev'ry time I phone you I just wanna put you And ev'ry time I phone you I just wanna put you down There's no action There's no action There's no action Ev'ry time I phone you I just wanna put you down
