I have never been mean Never been as bad as it may have seemed I have never been vile Never been twisted or unkind Maybe I'm working too hard, Maybe I'm out of my mind Maybe there will be a day 'Cause I've been losing my way For such a very long time That now I no longer know Where to go Oh, I wish I was a virgin A virgin like you I wish I had distance To put me through I wish I had a burden Wish that I had a dream I wish I was as simple as you seem Here we go again When every direction leads to pain And the one left I know Is the one that I'm most certain I don't want to go Maybe there will be a day, Maybe I'm out of my head Maybe love wasn't for us 'Cause I've been losing my touch For such a very long time That I no longer know very much at all I wish I was a virgin A virgin like you I wish I had distance To put me through I wish I had a burden Wish that I had a dream I wish I was as simple as you seem There was a time when I was a man And everything was easy to understand But now I'm floating like a shipwreck Shrunk to fit in a foreign land I have never been mean, Never been as bad as it may have seemed
