(paul foglino)



Met a girl last night

She asked if i would stay

I said "all right"

She just turned and walked away

She didn't say why

Must have thought i knew

I guess she just had better things to do





When i first met you

I was nervous in my haste

You're such a lady

A girl of wealth and taste

And when i kissed you

I thought i had it made

Saw pearly gates and touched a razor blade





Someone's got to tell me about these morbid fascinations

Someone's making love and i'm just making conversation

Sometimes i think i've got it but it always comes and goes

It's just a secret that everybody seems to know





When we're together

We're drinking to your health

And when we're talking

You're talking about yourself

I think about you

Call you on the phone

But when i'm with you i just feel more alone





Someone's got to tell me about these sexual relations

Someone's making love and i'm just making conversation

Sometimes i think i've got it but it always comes and goes

It's just a secret that everybody seems to know





You say you like me

But not like other guys

You tell your friends

You say i'm very nice

It's just a game

And you just want to play

When you break me you can just throw me away





Someone's got to tell me about these morbid fascinations

Someone's making love and i'm just making conversation

Sometimes i think i've got it but it always comes and goes

It's just a secret that everybody seems to know
