In Love

I remember The night we met That night we sat Entwined Under summer skies I looked into your eyes And You looked into mine You said Oleander holly "You're not like the rest" And I nodded Crimson feet of Collie "No one understands me" You said And I nodded once again Beautiful and lovely As if to agree that all men Are indeed the same My baby Somehow, you said The only one I was different Who really understands me Floating hand in hand we Whisper in the moonlight And say that I'm The things you want to see Kody and her star child For months on end I maintained Goddess of the moonlight A veneer of sincere interest Hold me in the morning As if I were listening As you relived every page And tell me I'm Of self-help and new age The only one alive That you'd read And Who really understands you I went in for the kill I'd read the same books Tell me pretty stories I learned to ape the motions Of a sensitive human being Say you understand me And we were oh, so happy My baby But you found things to fix The things you want to see And I knew it was time To move on But I could never be In love In love So now you have me Completely figured out You feel sorry for me I can't express my feelings I can't tell the truth We are all alike At puberty, I was sworn to secrecy By the international brotherhood Of lying, fickle males I can't tell you anything And I can't commit You're right I can't commit To you Hold me in the morning I will always treasure Our time together Tell me pretty stories I don't feel enough of anything To harbor the kind of disdain Say that you're the only one That you'll maintain You painted me into what you My baby Wanted to see That's fine But I could never be But you will never know me In love In love Oleander holly Crimson feet of Collie Beautiful and lovely My baby The only one Who really understands me
