There's no end to the love you can give
When you change your point of view to underfoot
Very good
You may be flat but you're breathing
There's no doubt he's at home alone in his room
Probably watching porn of you from the fall
It's last call
And you're the last one leaving
And you thought you could change the world
By opening your legs
Well, it isn't very hard
Try kicking them instead
And you thought you could change his mind
By changing your perfume
To the kind his mother wore
Oh God, Delilah, why?
I never met a more impossible girl
In this same bar where you slammed down your hand
And said: Amanda, I'm in love
No, you're not
You're just a sucker for the ones who use you
And it doesn't matter what I say or do
The stupid bastard's gonna have his way with you
You're an unrescuable schizo
Or else you're on the rag
And if you take him back
I'm gonna lose my nerve
I never met a more impossible girl
At four o'clock he got off and you called up
I'm down at Denny's on Route One
And you won't guess what he's done
Is that a fact, Delilah?
Larry tap let you in through the back
And use his calling card again
For a quick hand of gin
You are impossible, Delilah
The Princess of Denial
And after seven years in advertising
You are none the wiser
You're an unrescuable schizo
Or else you're on the rag
'Cause if you take him back
I'm gonna lose my nerve
He's gonna beat you like a pillow
You schizos never learn
And if you take him home
You'll get what you deserve
I never met a more impossible girl
So don't cry, Delilah!
You're still alive, Delilah!
You need a ride, Delilah?
Let's see how fast this thing can go
Let's see how fast this thing can go
Let's see how fast this thing can go
