so
our love is no damn good
and this is what it's come to be
you never really wanted me
like i thought you should:
holding open my front door
see, there's nothing up my sleeve
i'm watching as you leave
while i ask for more
but
there was never any sugar in my tea
no spoon stirring my morning coffee
and on the top no cream
no nighttime lover's tender dream
an unmade bed
where my soul craving touch waits still unfed
under the spreading chestnut tree
i found no woman stands for me
so
our love is no damn good
and this is what it's come to be
you never really wanted me
like i thought you should:
holding open my front door
see, there's nothing up my sleeve
i'm watching as you leave
while i ask for more
