Lover I Don't Have To Love

I picked you out

Of a crowd and talked to you

Said I liked your shoes

You said "Thanks can I follow you?"

Now it's up the stairs

And out of view, no prying eyes

I poured some wine

When I asked your name,

You asked the time

Now it's 2 o'clock

The club is closed

We're up the block

Your hands on me,

Pressing hard against your jeans

Your tongue in my mouth

Tryin to keep the words from comin out

You didn't care to know

Who else may have been here before

I want a lover I don't have to love

I want a boy who's so drunk he doesn't talk

Where's the kid with the chemicals?

I thought I'd meet him here

But I'm not sure

I got the money if you got the time

You said it feels good

I said , "I'll give it a try"

Then my mind went dark

We both forgot where your car was parked

So let's take the train

I'll meet up with the band in the morning

Bad actors, with bad habits

Some sad singers

They just play tragic

And the phone's ringin

And the band's leavin

Let's just keep touching...

Let's just... keep on singing

I want a lover I don't have to love

I want a boy who's so drunk he doesn't talk

Yea, where's the kid with the chemicals?

I got a hunger and I can't seem to get full

I need a meaning I can memorize

The kind I have always seems to slip my mind

But you...

You write such pretty words

But life's no story book

Love's an excuse to get hurt

And to hurt...

Do you like to hurt?

I do, I do

Then hurt me

Then hurt me

Didn't hurt me

It didn't hurt me

It didn't hurt me

It didn't hurt me

It didn't hurt me
