V1: How dare the premier ignore my invitations!?
He'll have to go
So too the bunch he luncheons with
It's second on my list of things to do
At the top I'm stopping by your place of work and acting like
I haven't dreamed of you and I and marriage in an orange grove
You are the only thing in any room you're ever in
I'm stubborn, selfish, and too old

V2: I sat you down and told you how the truest love that's ever found
Is for oneself
You pulled apart my theory with a weary and disinterested sigh
So yes i guess i'm asking you to back a horse that's good for glue
And nothing else
But find a man that's truer than
Find a man that needs you more than I
V3: Sit with me a while and let me listen to you talk about
Your dreams and your obsessions I'll be quite and confessional
The violets explode inside me when i meet your eyes
Then I'm spinning and i'm diving like a cloud of starlings.
n.C. (G/D)
Darling is this love?
