Okay! Pretty
What is brand new, exactly I think of you
You'll touch me in a minute
But that's not what I want to do
We are two strangers
We might never have met
We can talk forever
I understand what you said
But I'm not in love, what does it take to fall in love?
Do people really fall in love?
You know it
Is there a time for this? Is this responsibility?
Girl time, boy time
Is that the difference between you and me?
I won't ask any questions
Who needs to make a new start
I choose to believe you
I said before that I can't
'Cause I'm not in love, what does it take to fall in love?
Do people really fall in love?
Feelings
Take it easy, baby
Don't let your feelings get in the way
I believe someday we'll live in a world without love
I can answer your questions
If you won't twist what I say
Please respect my opinions
They will be respected someday
But I don't need love, there'll come a day when we won't need love
I don't believe that we don't need love
What is brand new, exactly I think of you
You'll touch me in a minute
But that's not what I want to do
We are two strangers
We might never have met
We can talk forever
I understand what you said
But I'm not in love, what does it take to fall in love?
Do people really fall in love?
You know it
Is there a time for this? Is this responsibility?
Girl time, boy time
Is that the difference between you and me?
I won't ask any questions
Who needs to make a new start
I choose to believe you
I said before that I can't
'Cause I'm not in love, what does it take to fall in love?
Do people really fall in love?
Feelings
Take it easy, baby
Don't let your feelings get in the way
I believe someday we'll live in a world without love
I can answer your questions
If you won't twist what I say
Please respect my opinions
They will be respected someday
But I don't need love, there'll come a day when we won't need love
I don't believe that we don't need love

I read in a Creem [I think] issue from 1979 that Byrne said this song was about his relationship between himself and his father. It sounded strange when I read that [as Byrne is strange in himself], but because he wouldn't/refused to elaborate on the subject, it just left it open to a far wider interpretation. As it comes from a fantastic/brilliant album I really don't mind at all what/who it's about.
