La la la la la
verse 1
Well I guess I'm just here to test your patience
Cause you're so smart my tricks don't work at all
Is it my lack of education?
Just tell me why you never call
verse 2
Behind your symmetry lies a fundamental difference
There are those who own their minds and those who crawl
No offense but, in between the lines I'm reading
You look out for your own, and you ain't gonna look at me that way
Pre-Chorus
And it's true
So what can I do?
Anything to get some of your affection
(What can I do?)
Maybe impress you with a song
(What can I do?)
I'm trying to minimize the damage done cause there ain't no one like you
Break
verse 3
I found that postcard from that trip you took to Thailand
I remember studying all the words writ in your pretty hand
The little lines the little curves held a sacred meaning
Or so I thought, but I had it wrong
verse 4
Now I'm trying to figure out when it was you gave me these heartworms
I feel them wriggling in my blood, you gonna do me harm
Right now I'd rather lose this losing feeling
That came on when you cooled off
Started treating me in this friendly way
Pre-Chorus
And it's true
So what can I do?
Oh won't you be still for a moment
(What can I do?)
So I can push a feather through your heart
(What can I do?)
I'm trying to minimize the damage done cause there ain't no one like you
So what can I do?
When I get lonely to distraction
(What can I do?)
Maybe impress you with a song
(What can I do?)
No easy way aound it
You're the saddest dream that ever came true
