(paul foglino)

Met a girl last night
She asked if I would stay
I said all right
She just turned and walked away
She didnt 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
Youre 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

Someones got to tell me about these morbid fascinations
Someones making love and Im just making conversation
Sometimes I think Ive got it but it always comes and goes
Its just a secret that everybody seems to know

When were together
Were drinking to your health
And when were talking
Youre talking about yourself
I think about you
Call you on the phone
But when Im with you I just feel more alone

Someones got to tell me about these sexual relations
Someones making love and Im just making conversation
Sometimes I think Ive got it but it always comes and goes
Its just a secret that everybody seems to know

You say you like me
But not like other guys
You tell your friends
You say Im very nice
Its just a game
And you just want to play
When you break me you can just throw me away

Someones got to tell me about these morbid fascinations
Someones making love and Im just making conversation
Sometimes I think Ive got it but it always comes and goes
Its just a secret that everybody seems to know
