lyrics

Milk-Aisle smiles misread
on your pretty head
and “The Milk-Eyed Mender”’s repeating
that “your a good friend” embrace
and your pensive face
starts my tired, defeated heart beating

And I don’t want to believe you
but then I look in your eyes
I believe you
No, I don’t want to believe you
say it’s not true, babe
say it’s not true

Far too many boys
and the basement noise
sends us upstairs for dire distracion
did I say separately?
you didn’t talk to me
except that fleeting stairs interaction

And I don’t want to believe you
but then I see what you do
I believe you
No, I don’t want to believe you
say it’s not true, babe
say it ain’t true

Your generation’s so laissez-faire
how can a man get tangled up in your hair?
the neighbor stares and it’s all laid bare
how can a boy like that get to touch you there?
I’ve tried indifference
tried not to care
I’ve tried ignoring your verve and your fearless stare
your peerless curves and your strident air
how can a man like me get mixed up in your affairs?
I don’t know, I don’t know
I don’t know

Fantasy, strategy
a minor tragedy
a monumental miscalculation
I didn’t even cross your mind
best to reiterate:
I didn’t cross your mind all vacation

And I don’t want to believe you
but then I hear what you say
I believe you
No, I don’t want to believe you
say it’s not true
No, I don’t want to believe you
but then I look in your eyes
I believe you
I don’t want to believe you
say it’s not true
but I know that it’s true
