Don't Get My Hopes Up |
Lately I’m a little bit prickly. |
Everything hurts when you fall in |
love hard enough, rock bottom doesn’t feel so bad, no. |
I wouldn’t quite call this bitchy--when I am on |
my best behavior I’ll fool you like a |
grown-up little girl who didn’t know how good she had |
it before. |
When desire walks through your door |
and all hell breaks loose times four, you’ll understand and maybe you |
won’t pull smooth maneuvers on your suitors anymore. |
Oh |
Don’t you go getting my hopes up, girl. |
You’ll be sorry and so will I. |
Last thing either one of us needs is |
yet another reason to cry. |
I know that I’m your last in line. |
I oughtta know better than to call you mine. |
Say a flat out «no"to my face, that’s fine, |
but don’t get my hopes up, girl. |
Lately I’m a pretty good swimmer-- |
so far up the creek cuz I fell in |
love hard enough hot water doesn’t seem so dire, no. |
I must’ve quit paying attention, baby, |
I have to tell you the line is |
blurred pretty bad between the frying pan and the |
fire. |
When love creeps up on you and fries your |
circuits through and through you’ll understand and maybe |
forgive me my trespasses, for I |
know not what I do. |
Oh, |
Don’t you go getting my hopes up, boy. |
You’ll be sorry and so will I. |
I’m not one for second chances |
once you’ve made me cry. |
My dance card’s full, my waiting list |
is too backed up for shit like this. |
Go ahead and pretend that I don’t exist, |
but don’t get my hopes up, boy. |
When desire walks through your door |
and all hell breaks loose times four, you’ll understand and maybe you |
won’t demand good manners from your lovers anymore. |
Oh, |
Don’t you go getting my hopes up, love. |
You’ll be sorry 'til the day you die. |
I see you wishing on your star |
and wishes cannot lie. |
I make 'em too, or haven’t you heard, |
waste a few on you cuz I never did learn. |
I know courage is harder to show than concern, |
and you can’t steal fire and not get burned. |
I will try to hold out and wait my turn, |
but don’t get my hopes up, love. |
