A lost love of mine Who gentlemen objectify I've seen the price and Chirst, I sympathize But then, what was I? Whose charmless arms you slept inside Who prays one day we make this same mistake twice Mistake twice I've learned all my lines and marked all the cues So boys stand aside, before I've thought this through I've been over this a thousand times The gist of this I've thrice survised But hard as I've tried I'm helpless to describe 'Cause they stood idle With what's left of these looks of mine Tone deaf and dumb my tongue to occupy Occupy And I learned all my lines and marked all the cues So boys stand aside before I've thought this through So love's come to town now You know what I'm obliged to do Cruel to be kind, but I'm still fond of you Because you're just like us Who tarnish everything we touch Hands out in front with blood up to the cuffs And I've seen enough I know my lines and marked all the cues So boys, stand aside before I've thought this through Through, yes through
