In times when my head

Was together about you

I was an expert at silence.

I enjoyed the blonds in their red jeeps

Stopping you on the street

Knowing none could compare with me

In my my airy skirts and cool retreats



(Chorus)

In times when my head was together about you

I was an expert at silence

You could have told the truth all the time

I was that at ease in side

You never made me cry

And then one night I lied

I got down with a boy in the backwoods

I didn't tell you and you didn't see

And that's when jealousy got the dog up in me



Now every look you get

Seems like another threat

I pick your pockets almost hoping to find

Something to hurt about, to prove you unkind



Oh but I still love you baby

Though now I just can't sit still

And though that boy meant nothing to me

I believe I've lost that simple thrill of the
