Mr. Good Morning

I saw you with Mr. Goodmorning,
some velvet rope on the curb
he gave me a wink for a warning
I saw "do not disturb me."
don't try reading my mind,
isn't gonna get you anywhere
going by, just between us
I won't cry I wasn't even there.
I made the interior landscape
where he's been dancing with you
fell in like a leaf on the water
nowhere that I'm going to now.
don't try reading my mind,
it isn't gonna get you anywhere
going by, just between us
I won't cry i wasn't even there.
what you could do but you won't.
I want a future and you don't.
guess I care about you after now
('cos I care enough about you now - 5-8-00 version)
I saw you with Mr. Goodmorning
there's been some others before
and when you've decided he's boring
that's when he'll think he adores you.
don't try reading my mind,
it isn't gonna get you anywhere
going by, just between us
I won't cry I wasn't even there.
