Acetate lyrics
I looked at the answers you wrote on your hand
When they were asking you about the man
That you�d like to meet and drop everything to run to
I don�t mean to brag and I don�t mean to boast
But I would like to think I�ve got most
Of the qualities on your list, so I thought I�d
introduce myself to you
Your pouting blue eyes they make contact with mine
And they keep looking through me until they�re behind
me
And staring at the face of a man that you know
That I know that you know could only bring bad news
You hate to be rude but you really must go
Leaving me to wonder if I�ll know
The words that I say that give me away
As being unworthy of you every time
And if he�s the one that you want to go to bed with
And I�m the one you want to wake up to
I can put myself on acetate and make it easier for you
Forget what they tell you, the evenings are yours
The supplicating men become whores
And we�re lined up like chances, and all that you need
do is take one
But your look says it clearly, you think me a toy
If you were in the market for a boy
You would find yourself a man and a mattress and make
one
But I would have to suppose that that�s the way life
goes
When the gardener decides to fall in love with the rose
I�ll protect you from insects but I won�t presume to
inhale you
For whatever the reason you�re out of my league
Pursuing only leads to fatigue
So I will take my leave and my heart from my sleeve
And I�ll see you whenever I see you again
And if he�s the one that you want to go to bed with
And I�m the one you want to wake up to
I can put myself on acetate and make it easier for you
To take me with you when you go
And tell me things I shouldn�t know
And be the girl I thought I�d finally found a thousand
times before
To keep on trying for
