oh, lover. i lived in the shade and all of my sunshine was gone, gone, gone. i don't want to keep secrets just to keep you. can i go where you go? can we always be this close forever and ever? what would it be like if i were a man? i've got a hundred thrown-out speeches i almost said to you. who could ever leave me, darling? but who could stay? i see right through me. he's got that (checks notes) boyish look that i like in a man. i'm the heartbreak prince. i'd marry you with paper rings. put your arms around me, baby...boy. i hope i never lose you. i hope this never ends. i get mystified by how this city screams your name. the morning comes and you're not my baby. if the story's over, why am i still writing pages? papercut stings from our paper-thin plans. helpful reminder the boy's from london and not new york. YOU'RE THE WEST VILLAGE and you do it for me, babe. we might just get away with it. religion's in your lips; the altar is my hips. shade (remember? the thing i lived in in track 1?) never made anybody less gay. i don't want to lose this with you. babydoll, when it comes to a lover i promise that you'll never find another like me-hee-hee. ME! OUT NOW on lesbian visibility day. it's nice to have a friend. you have to step into the daylight and let it go. i, i just think that you are what you love.
