Wanted

He's a back porch stoner, he's a couple years older

He rolls through the country like a chipped-off boulder

He leaves like a cowboy but thinks he's a soldier, and I want him

He don't say much, but he's made it clear

He's gone as soon as the sun as near

And he likes his woman the way he likes his light beer, low commitment

Oh, oh

Oh, I know you've given me every good, good reason to run

But there's something about not being wanted by someone

And I know I think of you more than I should

And if you wanted me by now, then you would

But I'm not wanted

So I call my friend to say I'm getting clean from a guy who never really wanted me

I give me heart, then get left on received, and I'm getting tired

She said, "Izzy, that's fine and well, but we both know you can't help yourself

And he raised the bar straight to hell, and you still want him"

Oh, oh

Oh, I know you've given me every good, good reason to run

But there's something about not being wanted by someone

And I know I think of you more than I should

And if you wanted me by now, then you would

Baby, isn't that something?

There's something about not being wanted

So he called me on the telephone to say that I should probably know

"I'm not falling in love with you, just in case you thought so"

He said that shit like it was funny, now, who the fuck says that to somebody?

You kissed me first, then call me honey

So, yeah, that's my bad, dog

He's a back porch stoner, he's a couple years older

He rolls through the country like a chipped-off boulder

He talks about math rock and the war being over like he's Gods gift

Oh, oh

Oh, I know you've given me every good, good reason to run

But there's something about not being wanted by someone

And I know I think of you more than I should

And if you wanted me by now, love, then you would

Baby, isn't that just something?

There's something about not being wanted
