I wake alone, ina woman's room I hardly know.
I wake alone- and pretend that I am finally home.
The room is littered with her books and notebooks.
I imagine what they say, like, 'shoo fly, don't bother me,'
And I can hardly get myself out of her bed.
I'm at my best when I'm at my worst
I'm at my worst when it's not rehearsed
I don't wanna know the goddamn words
I don't wanna have to spell it out
Don't wanna mumble what I'm trying to say
Your gentleman caller,
Well, he's been calling on another
He loves his forbidden fruit.
And as it dribbles down his chin
He cries, "baby, I've been drinking with some friends! now how 'bout a little kiss..."
