I was woken up at 4 AM by your screams and anguished cries Your mother was singing in the bathroom He will never be my child Oh, baby talks in her sleep so loud
We're living four flights up But I swear right now It feels like underground
You have absolutely no common sense Yes I know that's your charm You spend the whole day on the phone You say well it helps you stay calm You cling to my arm yes I know that's your charm
And when I ask you what you want you say a diamonte crocodile Well then could you give me some peace You say, 'Well maybe for a while' Sometimes you know you could almost be a child
Oh, must you tell me all your secrets When it's hard enough to love you knowing nothing We're living four flights up But I swear right now It feels like underground
You are your own worst enemy So don't expect my sympathy Oh, go back to your mother's house And cry your little heart out You came driving back to town In a beat up Grace Kelly car Looking like a friend of Truman Capote Looking exactly like you are Yes, I know that's your charm
So don't ask if I still want you only ask me if I must I've been blown around so long Don't know which senses to trust Oh no.. but I know that I must
Oh, must you tell me all your secrets When it's hard enough to love you knowing nothing We're living four flights up But I swear right now It feels like underground
