there's something i have to say

i don't quite know why or how

something about the way you treated me

when you went out tonight

it's like you can't stand unless you can stand next to me

like, like you can throw your love's lasso

around all of my complexities

and hold my attention like a lease (?leash?) on my time

til not even i can occupy my mind

now you may be thinking i'm just here to blame you

shame you for playing Monopoly

but wait there's more, that's just half the story

we're still ignoring me

cuz my heart will surely break for the border

rather than become a prisoner

baby, are you listening?

baby are you listening to me now?

saying it's not just your imagination

saying we're gonna need some divine inspiration at this point

yes, cuz you keep saying that you love me

but it's like you just love the way i make you feel

yes and it ain't gonna be pretty when i factor myself back into the deal

and it's endless, endless, endless, endless, endless the people to attend to

and if anyone, anyone, anyone, anyone, anyone should understand

i think it would be you

but this rundown remnant of my boldness

is not up to code

and it's not up to me but that pushover

has been carrying the mother lode

and i've been crying mercy

and i've been getting' none

and you're starting to feel like everyone, everyone, everyone, everyone

you keep saying that you love me

but it's like you just love the way i make you feel

yes and it ain't gonna be pretty when i factor myself back into the deal

so maybe like a lake with no reflection

of the trees or the sky

it was i that failed you with no opposite reality

anyway you figured it all out

so i only am left wondering why

why you wanna get off on a technicality

cuz you always put yourself above me

baby you were so in love with the way i made you feel

yes, yes, yes, yes and
