lyrics

You gave me wine turned into water
I want you mine but I'm not a stalker
Don't stand too close I'll bite you if I'm feeling threatened.

To feel alive is to be tortured
Personified though paltry performance
I know you try but seriously give it over

Gave me a rise, I know it shouldn't
I can't defy but think of my students
Their bedroom eyes, come hither lure is taking over

Unsound in mind, bonkers, erratic
My self beside and ardent fanatic
Your facebook page, I'm a tiger by the tail that's growing, that's growing!

I never cry, just unaffected
You seem surprised I should have detected
You narcissistic, self-observant primadona

You ask me why, you'd be frustrated
Sit on my hands, drop that hot potato
I'm free and easy unattached and uncommitted

I realized, maybe I wrecked it
A second try but I don't expect it
Up the creek low-tide no paddle hey at least it's sunny

It could be worse, I got your friend in
I know you flirt but I'm not pretending
A consolation prize but it is you in my head, in my head.

Give it up, do it! Give up, do it! Give it up, do it! Give up, do it!
You ahem and haw you really gotta make your mind up
Give it up, do it! Give up, do it! Give it up, do it! Give up, do it!
My head is sore all I really really want is you to take me away, all the way.

A year has passed, decided sort of
Gave me advice but I'm not your daughter
I really feel it's time to stop all, this I've had enough.
