Some sweet perversion on the telephone line
|
I've been waiting for such a very long time
|
For her to be free
|
|
The evening was nice but there were too many people
|
And all my thoughts, so depraved and evil
|
Oh Lord, what would she say?
|
|
She says, "Well, I'm afraid, it's not to be
|
You're a sweet guy but you ain't for me
|
I live my life in a different way
|
You know those things you're thinking are a big mistake"
|
|
We stayed out late 'til morning came
|
I said, "I'll take you home if it's all the same"
|
Her indifference fills the room
|
|
Some weak seduction on the morning after
|
How it slays me every time I touch her
|
But she just wants to sleep
|
|
She says, "How long 'til you understand
|
The last thing that I need is another man
|
Didn't you promise to give it a rest?
|
Right now I need a lover like a hole, like a hole in the chest"
|
|
Oh well, can't blame a guy for tryin'
|
And I'm smiling even though I'm dying
|
To know the love she says will never be
|
|
One last conversation at the crowded bar
|
And even though the music is louder by far
|
I hear every word she says
|
|
She says, "Don't take it bad, don't worry about it
|
You're friend of mine and there's no way around it
|
Sometimes you get there early, sometimes you get there late
|
But even if you had a chance you never, never knew the game"
|
|
Little hands, open smile, I'm glad we got to talk for a while
|
I feel okay, yeah I'm feeling better, I'll let it go but I'll never say never
|
It's okay, yeah it's okay, it's okay, it's okay
|
