Left Alone |
You made, you made your overtures |
When you were a chauven'd overtoned mutt |
And I was still a dewy petal |
Rather than a moribund slut |
My love wrecked you |
You're back to twirl your skirt at the palace |
It hurt more than it ought to hurt |
I went to work to cultivate a callous |
And now I'm hot, too hot and oh |
I don't cry when I'm sad anymore, no no |
Tears calcify in my tummy |
Fears go inside the bottle |
How can I ask anyone to love me |
When all I do is beg to be left alone |
Oh and I tried to love |
And I can love the same man and the same bed and the same city |
But not in the same room it's a pity but oh |
It never bothered me before |
Not 'til this guy |
What a guy |
Oh God what a good guy |
And I can't even enjoy him |
'Cause I'm hard, too hard to know |
I don't cry when I'm sad anymore, no no |
Tears calcify in my tummy |
Fears go inside the bottle |
How can I ask anyone to love me |
When all I do is beg to be left |
When all I do is beg to be left |
When all I do is beg to be left |
Alone |
Alone |
Alone |
My ills are articulate |
My woes are granular |
The ants weigh more than the elephants |
Nothing, nothing is manageable |
So couldn't we skip the valedictories |
I can see your door there |
Shut it and forget my number |
'Cause I'm hard, too hard to know |
Oh I don't cry when I'm sad anymore, no no |
Tears calcify in my tummy |
Fears go inside the bottle |
How can I ask anyone to love me |
When all I do is beg to be left |
When all I do is beg to be left |
When all I do is beg to be left |
Alone |
