My face is finished My body's gone And i can't help but think Standin' up here in all this applause And gazin' down at all the young and the beautiful With their questioning eyes That i must above all things love myself That i must above all things love myself That i must above all things love myself
I saw a girl in the crowd I ran over i shouted out I asked if i could take her out But she said that she didn't want to
I changed the sheets on my bed I combed my hair across my head I sucked in my gut and still she said That she just didn't want to
I read her (don't know) and i read her yeats I tried my best to stay up late I fixed the hinges on her gate But still she just never wanted to
I bought her a dozen snow white doves I did auditions(?) in rubber gloves I called her honey bee, i called her love But she just still didn't want to She just never wants to Damn!
I sent her every type of flower I played the guitar by the hour I padded her revolted little (don't know) But still she just didn't want to
I wrote a song with 100 lines I picked a bunch of dandelions I walked her through the trembling pines But she just even then didn't want to She just never wants to
I thought i'd try another 'tack I'd drink a liter of cognac I threw up down her back But she just laughed and said she just didn't want to
I thought i'd have another go I called her my little ho I felt like (don't know) soul must feel when She said that she just never wanted to She just didn't want to
