Like a grade school valentine

My heart is asking and aching all the time

And when are you gonna know?

The steaming time gets to moving awful slow

So let's talk about the way the world should be

It's not fair that I'm cast as Gatsby

And I should have seen you coming like a speeding car

But you know me perennial

Cassandra.

If you wanna hurt me, it's an unqualified success

And I don't wanna hang around like a faded dress

When I was young I thought

That I don't remember everything that I've been taught

Now it's clear I never learned anything

Cause I come up empty When it comes to you deep So let's

Talk about just how it's gonna be

Get the love and just bring the happy

Cause I got a sneaking feeling about you Such as

You got other, better things

to do If you wanna hurt me, it's an unqualified success

And I don't wanna hang around like a faded dress on

Although.

If worry is the color of currency, then

I've paid well for this movie

And I can't help but watch it again and again Cause at the end when I rewind it, you're right

back with me

So like a great school Valentine

My heart is asking and aching all the time

And I got a sneaking feeling about you

Such as you got other better things to do

If you wanna hurt me, it's an unqualified success

And I don't wanna hang around like a faded dress

No, I don't wanna hang around like a fading dress

Now I don't wanna hang around like a faded dress On the way out On the way out On the way out
