When you were show an orotund mutt
And I was still a dew on petals
Rather than a moribund s***
My love wrecked you
You packed to twirl your skirt at the palace
It hurt more than it ought to hurt
I went to work to cultivate a callus
[Hook:]
And now I'm hard, too hard to know
I don't cry when I'm sad anymore, no no
Tears calcify in my tummy
Fears go inside of my toe
How can I ask anyone to love me
When all I do is beg to be left alone?
Oh, when I try to love
I can save the same man in the same bed in the same city
But not in the same room, it's a pity, but
Oh, it never bothered me before
Not 'til this guy, what a guy, oh God what a good guy
And I can't even enjoy him
[Hook:]
How can I ask anyone to love me
When all I do is beg to be left
When all I do is beg to be left
When all I do is beg to be left alone
Alone, alone
My ills are articulate
My woes are granular
The ants weigh more than the elephants
Nothing, nothing is manageable
So couldn't we validictories?
I could see you enjoy that
Shut it and forget my number
[Hook:]
How can I ask anyone to love me
When all I do is beg to be left
When all I do is beg to be left
When all I do is beg to be left alone
We made your made your overtures When you were show an orotund mutt And I was still a dew on petals Rather than a moribund s*** My love wrecked you You packed to twirl your skirt at the palace It hurt more than it ought to hurt I went to work to cultivate a callus [Hook:] And now I'm hard, too hard to know I don't cry when I'm sad anymore, no no Tears calcify in my tummy Fears go inside of my toe How can I ask anyone to love me When all I do is beg to be left alone? Oh, when I try to love I can save the same man in the same bed in the same city But not in the same room, it's a pity, but Oh, it never bothered me before Not 'til this guy, what a guy, oh God what a good guy And I can't even enjoy him [Hook:] How can I ask anyone to love me When all I do is beg to be left When all I do is beg to be left When all I do is beg to be left alone Alone, alone My ills are articulate My woes are granular The ants weigh more than the elephants Nothing, nothing is manageable So couldn't we validictories? I could see you enjoy that Shut it and forget my number [Hook:] How can I ask anyone to love me When all I do is beg to be left When all I do is beg to be left When all I do is beg to be left alone Explain Request ×
