like a grade school valentine
my heart is asking and aching all the time
when are you gonna know?
as near as time gets, you´re moving awful slow
so let´s talk about the way the world should be
it´s not fair, when i´m cast as gatsby
and i should have seen you coming like a speeding car
but you know me perennial cassandra

if you wanna hurt me it´s an unqualified success
i don´t wanna hang around like a faded dress

when i was young i thought
that i´d remember everything that i´d been taught
now it´s clear i never learned anything
cause i come up empty, when it comes to you dear
so let´s talk about just how it´s gonna be
forget the love that once made her happy
cause i got a sneaking feeling about you
such as you´ve got other better things to do

if you wanna hurt me it´s an unqualified success
i don´t wanna hang around like a faded dress
on the way out
on the way out

if worry is the color of currency
then i´ll pay the will for this movie
and i cant help but watch it again and again
cause at the end when i rewind it you´re right back with me

like a grade school valentine
my heart is asking and aching all the time
and i got a sneaking feeling about you
such as you´ve got other better things to do

if you wanna hurt me it´s an unqualified success
i don´t wanna hang around like a faded dress
i don´t wanna hang around like a faded dress
i don´t wanna hang around like a faded dress
on the way out
on the way out
on the way out
