there's something i have to say   i don't quite know why or how   something about the way you treated me    when you went out tonight      it's like you can't stand unless you can stand next to me   like, like you can throw your love's lasso   around all of my complexities   and hold my attention like a lease on my time   til not even i can occupy my mind      now you may be thinking i'm just here to blame you   shame you for playing Monopoly   but wait there's more, that's just half the story   we're still ignoring me   'cause my heart will surely break for the border   rather than become a prisoner      baby, are you listening?   baby are you listening to me now?   saying it's not just your imagination   saying we're gonna need some divine inspiration at this point      yes, 'cause you keep saying that you love me   but it's like you just love the way i make you feel   yes and it ain't gonna be pretty when i factor myself back into the deal      and it's endless, endless, endless, endless, endless the people to attend to   and if anyone, anyone, anyone, anyone, anyone should understand   i think it would be you      but this rundown remnant of my boldness    is not up to code   and it's not up to me but that pushover    has been carrying the mother lode      and i've been crying mercy   and i've been getting' none   and you're starting to feel like everyone, everyone, everyone, everyone      you keep saying that you love me   but it's like you just love the way i make you feel   yes and it ain't gonna be pretty when i factor myself back into the deal      so maybe like a lake with no reflection   of the trees or the sky   it was i that failed you with no opposite reality   anyway you figured it all out   so i only am left wondering why   why you wanna get off on a technicality   'cause you always put yourself above me      baby you were so in love with the way i made you feel   yes, yes, yes, yes and i told you that it won't be pretty when i factor   myself back into the deal
