Left Alone
You made your major overturesWhen you were a sure and orotund muttAnd I was still a dewy petalRather than a moribund slutMy love wrecked youYou packed to twirl your skirt at the palaceIt hurt more than it ought to hurtI went to work to cultivate a callus
[Hook:]And now I'm hard, too hard to knowI don't cry when I'm sad anymore, no noTears calcify in my tummyFears go inside a bot-tle
How can I ask anyone to love meWhen all I do is beg to be left alone?
Oh, when I try to loveI can love the same man in the same bed in the same cityBut not in the same room, it's a pity, butOh, it never bothered me beforeNot 'til this guy, what a guy, oh God what a good guyAnd I can't even enjoy him
[Hook]
How can I ask anyone to love meWhen all I do is beg to be leftWhen all I do is beg to be leftWhen all I do is beg to be left aloneAlone, alone
My ills are reticulateMy woes are granularThe ants weigh more than the elephantsNothing, nothing is manageableSo, couldn't we skip the valedictories?I can see a door there:Shut it and forget my number
[Hook]
How can I ask anyone to love meWhen all I do is beg to be leftWhen all I do is beg to be leftWhen all I do is beg to be left alone
