She turns down my proposal
"It is way past the hour."
I took the outcome for granted
I did it for the last time
Ten minutes into the day
I'm waiting for the night time to come
Walk out of the treatment into my weekend
I leave with a mixed mind, oh why
And I say
I need my novocaine
If you love me my old friend
Don't beg me to explain
Shut me down and leave me be
Gimme my novocaine
You say you love me just the way I am
But do you want me to beg for you?
Shut me down, and don't ask me why
My novocaine into the clear out of the phantom fear
Why can't I always feel this glad?
I ain't an old man, not even a grown man
Still she makes me feel so bad
Hey sister, I know you miss me
I'm gonna play with my old friends now
Your odd words got me cryin'
Novocaine pulls me up when you put me down
Love's never enough for you
And l say to my man
