Don't Meddle

Well her voice carries water, but it won't carry weight

He's known he couldn't stand her since the second date

But he's known to get lonely, and the hours they do get late

He imagines she's gorgeous, imagines she cheats

He'd rather wake up with a headache than a handful of sheets

Now they share the rent and the wall-to-wall carpet

And they share admission at the la brea tar pits

And they share opinions on the passerby and their outfits

She imagines he's handsome, imagines he cheats

She'd rather wake up with a headache than a handful of sheets

Oh pray, don't meddle, when I say I'll settle

Oh pray, don't meddle, oh pray

You know damn well what I go through

It's unpleasant and it's slow too

So pray, don't meddle, oh pray

With a purpose and a pervert, she fell into bed

She never rode the bus this late with her eyes this red

Didn't mean the things she did, well I think she meant the things she said

She knows that she's gorgeous, he knows that she cheats

They'd rather wake up with regrets than handfuls of sheets

And they're the people who wait for the calls that don't come

And the songs you hate, they're the ones that you hum the most

Oh pray, don't meddle, when I say I'll settle

Oh pray, don't meddle, oh pray

You know damn well what I go through

It's unpleasant and it's slow too

So pray, don't meddle, oh pray

Oh pray, don't meddle, when I say I'll settle

Oh pray, don't meddle, oh pray

You know damn well what I go through

It's unpleasant and it's slow too

So pray, don't meddle, oh pray

Oh pray, don't meddle, oh pray
