2003-11-18 - refer to detachment
i could never hate you
for doing what you did
believe me I relate to
the things that you forbid
I should have been cold hearted
I should have just said no
I guess once I get started
it's hard to let it go
I listen to the experts
who say "there is no way
a woman's love would desert...
otherwise she'd stay
she'll say she loves you madly
but mark my word it's true
she wants to leave you badly
or she'd be there with you
she hopes you'll get the message
she hopes you'll take the hint
she's not into confessing
your love was just a stint
a friend to hold her hand
a strength in time of trial
someone to call "the man"
a kiss to make her smile..."
.
and even though I knew this
and since then it's been shown
I didn't think clear through this
and now my cover's blown
I thought you were downhearted
and rushed to comfort you
I acted so retarded
I didn't know what to do
I thought you felt what I felt
It's such a stupid luck
to say after the card's dealt
"hey dealer, got a buck?"
I should have swallowed a shoe
I should have gotten a clue
instead of jeopardizing
what might not be quite through
I should have taken a shower
so cold it turned me blue
I should've fought the power
that made me hot for you
I should have done a lot of things
but let's just summarize
conclusively affection brings
a blindness to my eyes
so if you're downtown grinding
and I walk in the club
don't view my neverminding
as some half-hearted snub
I hope it won't offend you
if I down one and leave
just tell them that I send you
and I'm easy to deceive
