Like a grade school valentine
My heart is asking and aching all the time
When are you gonna know?
As near as time gets, you're moving awful slowSo, lets talk about the way the world should be
It's not fair, when I'm cast as Gatsby
And I should have seen you coming like a speeding car
But you know me perennial CassandraIf you wanna hurt me, it's an unqualified success
I dont wanna hang around like a faded dressWhen I was young, I thought
That I'd remember everything that I'd been taught
Now, it's clear I never learned anything
'Cause I come up empty, when it comes to you, dearSo, lets talk about just how it's gonna be
Forget the love that once made her happy
'Cause I got a sneaking feeling about you
Such as youve got other better things to doIf you wanna hurt me, it's an unqualified success
I dont wanna hang around like a faded dress
On the way out, on the way outIf worry is the color of currency
Then I'll pay the will for this movie
And I cant help but watch it again and again
'Cause at the end, when I rewind it you're right back with meLike a grade school valentine
My heart is asking and aching all the time
And I got a sneaking feeling about you
Such as youve got other better things to doIf you wanna hurt me, it's an unqualified success
I dont wanna hang around like a faded dress
I dont wanna hang around like a faded dress
I dont wanna hang around like a faded dress
On the way out, on the way out, on the way out
