| My best friend had a little situation
|
| At the end of our senior year
|
| And like a shot, she and Mitchell got married that summer
|
| Carolann getting bigger every minute
|
| Thinking, «What am I doing here?»
|
| While Mitchell’s out every night
|
| Being a heavy-metal drummer
|
| They got a little cute house on a little cute street
|
| With a crucifix on the door
|
| Mitchell got a job at the record store in the mall
|
| Just the typical facts of a typical life in a town on the Eastern Shore
|
| I thought about what I wanted
|
| It wasn’t like that at all
|
| Made Carolann a cute baby sweater
|
| Thinking «I can do better than that»
|
| In a year or so, I moved to the city
|
| Thinking «What have I got to lose?»
|
| Got a room, got a cat, and got twenty pounds thinner
|
| Met a guy in a class I was taking who you might say
|
| Looked like Tom Cruise
|
| He wouldn’t leave me alone 'less I went with him to dinner
|
| And I guess he was cute
|
| And I guess he was sweet
|
| ANd I guess he was good in bed
|
| I gave up my life for a better part of a year
|
| And so I’m starting to think that this maybe might work
|
| And the second it entered my head
|
| He needed to take some time off
|
| Focus on his «career»
|
| He blew me off with a heartfelt letter
|
| I thought «I can do better than that»
|
| You don’t have to get a haircute
|
| You don’t have to change your shoes
|
| You don’t have to like Duran Duran
|
| Just love me
|
| You don’t have to put the seat down
|
| You don’t have to watch the news
|
| You dont' have to learn to tango
|
| You don’t have to eat prosciutto
|
| You don’t have to change a thing
|
| Just stay with me
|
| I want you and you and nothing but you
|
| Miles and piles of you
|
| Finally I’ll have something worthwhile
|
| To think about each morning
|
| You and you and nothing but you
|
| No substitution will do
|
| Nothing but fresh, undiluted and pure
|
| Top of the line and totally mine!
|
| I don’t need any lifetime commitments
|
| I don’t need to get hitched tonight
|
| I don’t want to throw up your walls and defenses
|
| I don’t mean to put on any pressure
|
| But I know what a thing is right
|
| And I spend every day reconfiguring my sense
|
| When we get to my house, take a look at that town
|
| Take a look at how far I’ve gone
|
| I will never go back
|
| Never look back anymoure
|
| And it feels like my life led right to your side
|
| And will keep me there from now on
|
| Think about what you wanted
|
| Think about what could be
|
| THink about how I love you
|
| Say you’ll move in with me
|
| Think of what’s great about me and you
|
| Think of the bullsh*t we’ve both been through
|
| Think of what’s past because we can do better!
|
| We can do better!
|
| We can do better than that!
|
| We can do better than that! |
