We met smoking cigarettes
This is what she said to me
She said "you're no Vincent Gallo
But we could still get close, I suppose"
Lately, I've been greatly touched by just this kind
Bitten, I was smitten, neatly written off
But I'm naïve enough to believe that love is an easy beat
I've never seen a rhythm like this that falls clean off the sheet
She thinks that he is so mysterious just 'cause he's in film
Just when I think we're alone, here he is, takin' away the thrill
I thought I could cross her
Vermillion border
But I tried, she rebuked me,
She goes "that's right out of order"
But I'm naïve enough to believe that love is an easy beat
I've never seen a rhythm like this that falls clean off the sheet
She thinks that he is so mysterious just 'cause he's in film
Just when I think we're alone, here he is, takin' away the thrill
We split, cigarettes still lit
And this is how I let her go
I said "baby, you're no Betty Mabry
So it could never last"
