| 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 can’t 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 |
