Left Alone

Lyrics

You made, you made your overtures
 When you were a sure and orotund mutt
 And I was still a dewey petal
 Rather than a moribund slut
 My love wrecked you
 You packed to twirl your skirt at the palace
 It hurt more than it ought to hurt
 I went to work to cultivate a callus
 And now I'm hard, too hard to know
 I don't cry when I'm sad anymore, no no
 Tears calcify in my tummy
 Fears coincide with the tow
 How can I ask anyone to love me
 When all I do is beg to be left alone?
 ♪
 Oh, when I try to love
 I can love the same man in the same bed in the same city
 But not in the same room, it's a pity, but
 Oh, it never bothered me before
 Not 'til this guy, what a guy, oh God what a good guy
 And I can't even enjoy him
 'Cause I'm hard, too hard to know
 I don't cry when I'm sad anymore, no no
 Tears calcify in my tummy
 Fears coincide with the tow
 How can I ask anyone to love me
 When all I do is beg to be left
 When all I do is beg to be left
 When all I do is beg to be left alone
 Alone, alone
 ♪
 My ills are reticulate
 My woes are granular
 The ants weigh more than the elephants
 Nothing, nothing is manageable
 So couldn't we stop the valedictories?
 I can see the door there, shut it and forget my number
 'Cause I'm hard, too hard to know
 I don't cry when I'm sad anymore, no no
 Tears calcify in my tummy
 Fears coincide with the tow
 How can I ask anyone to love me
 When all I do is beg to be left
 When all I do is beg to be left
 When all I do is beg to be left alone?
