I can see you lookin' around as you walk into the room lookin' for a chair and maybe an ear to ease the gloom i'll probably end up talkin' to you, I bet we'll get along then i'll quote "The Great Unknown" and have to sing the song you'll pretend not to be impressed and i'll seem not to care you'll wish you were better dressed i'll fret about my hair i'll ask if i can call you, but there's nothing on my mind i stutter and appall you, there's just so much on the line lord knows it always goes that way, from that first rosebud to the sad last day this paranoia may seem strange but trust me, some things never change so let's skip the text-book pick-up lines and jump right on ahead to where i sweetly romance you, and coax you into bed when i bungle sexy metaphors and bore you half the night oh, let's forget the learning stage, i never get it right let's know each other, in and out, and never have to guess trust each other's private sins before we each confess i'll seduce you jokingly, you'll laugh and turn away the bed's too small, the quilt too hot, i'm tired anyway. lord knows it always goes that way, from that first damn rose to the sad last day this paranoia may seem strange but trust me, some things never change

let's go straight to the part where you're breakin' my heart forget all the melodrama life's just bad art

let's never have the two-room flat, but a house to call our own let's get married straightaway and co-sign on the loan then work full time plus extra hours to pay off all our debt let's never have to schedule love for fear we might forget but how could you forget our love? like what you've never known and nothing that you ever will; you still stand there alone. i'm depressed by all the harm you've never done to me and you're unaware, your far-off stare could never even see. lord knows it always goes that way, from that first damn rose to its slow decay this paranoia may seem strange but darlin, some things never change
