lyrics

Sometimes the best response she can manage is
I can’t handle what’s being thrown at me
Surely all of this stress has it’s advantages
But lately that is yet to be seen

I got a pocket with a wallet in it
That is as empty as my promises it’s
a shame how days are just replays of the same vignette
But darling don’t give up on me yet

I’m don’t care if they lock me away
For whatever groovy thing I might say
My babe I’m afraid when you’re away-forget what life was like before we met
Oh darling, darling don’t give up on me yet

O lafola daa ling
The software’s done installing
I’m ready to be the man you need right now
A caped crusader with these bushy eyebrows
Just darling don’t give up on me and we’ll make it somehow
Just darling don’t give up on me now

Sometimes the best response she can manage is
I can’t handle what’s being thrown at me
Surely all of this stress has it’s advantages
But lately that’s yet to be seen
And when I grow up you know I want to be well adjusted and give in to change
Existence is expensive but your love is free and I can’t complain

It's no wonder why I waste all my time behind this computer screen
Used a ruler to connect the dots
Called me up to tie tight all loose knots
Knowing that the remaining factors will stay the same
It seems I’ve run out of hope
I feel like we’ve formed a negative slope
I know that you will never truly change
But if you work out us together there’s not a chance that you will stay
I used to be so understanding now I’m forever in a state
Of disbelief at what you do
Lie to me and all of your little friends too
I don’t know what to say to you
You used to go out of your way
To make me feel like we would never change
You seem to think that 2 minus 1 is still 2
