lyrics

It's the most that I can do to be the best that I can be.
Well, she's all I've ever wanted but she doesn't want me.

You played me
and now I'm flipping off my lid – despite everything I did, I never touched you.
Oh baby.
You know, we nearly had a kid but all you wanted was rid of me so fuck you.
Titillate me.
I remember how you'd tease, whisper please, go weak in the knees, rough too.
So shady
but it was just the summer breeze. You fell in love with being free. What were you up to?
We went dancing.
I bought some shoes with flat soles, went to that creepy fucker's house to learn some new steps.
Second-to-none romancing.
I never knew love that cold – whatever I'd do it always seemed useless.
Embarrassing
that I let you take me so low, like I'm Leia in the Millennium Falcon.
Bada boom bada bing.
'spose you got me, nice one, good joke. I need a bath and some talcum.

If you know the one I loved, then you're as gifted.
She's the grace to leave you powerless and lifted.
It's the most that I can do to be the best that I can be.
Well, she's all I've ever wanted but she doesn't want me.

It's all a laugh.
We try and try but know we're lucky just to end up not dying in a car crash.
Give me your autograph
as the last to ever do this – make a relationship feel just like a car crash.
Since you're the last,
I apologise to every girl I've ever treated badly like they're listening.
It's all come back...
Still can't say your name.
When you look back in the forties in your palace that your parents built you from scratch.
It's a crying shame.
Know you turned away my tenderness and patience because then you didn't want that.
I'll play the games
because I'm driven by biology, the same as him and her – I'm only human.
But show restraint -
You might hear it in my music and the proof is in the pudding, I'm a new man.

If you know the one I loved, then you're as gifted.
She's the grace to leave you powerless and lifted.
It's the most that I can do to be the best that I can be.
Well, she's all I've ever wanted but she doesn't want me.

Hmm hmm hmm hmm.
Hah hah hah hah.

If you know the one I loved, then you're as gifted.
She's the grace to leave you powerless and lifted.
It's the most that I can do to be the best that I can be.
Well, she's all I've ever wanted but she doesn't want me.
