sad lover, would you like me leaving you?
is it true I tell myself fairytales?
I pluck up my courage to see
if I stand straight in my shoes
to dance, to dance
with all the hungry wolves, I know
I like to get attention much
it's the affection I gain that makes my head turn
and the strange belief you will leave me alone
I've written you a love on my own
so remind me how much it means to me
to stay a little while on my own
sad lover, it occurs to me we began
our story lightly shoed
I used about a hundred feet
to find a license for you
to dance, to dance
with all the hungry girls you know
you like to get attention much
it's the obsessive way you make my thoughts go wrong
if you go, I will stay
if you come, I will stay
if you go, I will stay
if you come, I will leave you alone
I've written you a novel alone
would you finally mind telling me
it's just another love affair done?
if you come, I will leave you
