sitting here, you twist me in every little way you know
wring me out and kiss me, i don't want you to go
you were lookin' to me like you're so damn groovy--i'm not so quickly charmed
and anyway i only wanted to see you, but i won't tonight
so tell me lover, what's gone wrong?
you've got me all up waiting all night long
for something better
--wearing your sweater
and wouldn't you kiss me like someone i knew you could be?
in some spitting world ever-fermenting--i'm never content to be
and you were lookin' to me like you're so amusing--i'm not so easily charmed
and anyway i only wanted to see you, but i won't tonight
still, <del>lover</del><ins>lauren</ins>, don't you know?
i'm loving you more than ever was
and tonight i will cry
