The God-Why-Don't-You-Love-Me Blues
Hello, folks
We're into the Follies!
First, though, folks
We'll pause for a mo'
No, no, folks
You still get your jollies
It's just I got a problem
That I think you should know
See, I've been very perturbed of late
Very upset
Very betwixt and between
The things that I want
I don't seem to get
The things that I get
You know what I mean
I've got those
"God-why-don't-you-love-me-oh-you-do-I'll-see-you-later" blues
That
"Long-as-you-ignore-me-you're-the-only-thing-that-matters" feeling
That "If-I'm-good-enough-for-you-you're-not-good-enough"
And "Thank-you-for-the-present-but-what's-wrong-with-It?" stuff
Those
"Don't-come-any-closer-'cause-you-know-how-much-I-love-you" feelings
Those"Tell-me-that-you-love-me-oh-you-did-I-gotta-run-now" blues

She says she really loves me
I love you!
She says
She says she really cares
I care
I care
She says that I'm her hero
My hero
She says
I'm perfect
She swears
You're perfect, goddamit
She says that if we parted
If we parted?!
She says
She says that she'd be sick
Bleeeeeeh
She says she's mine forever
Forever!
She says
I gotta get outta here quick!
Don't go! Don't go!
I love you! I love you!
Come back!
I've got those
"Whisper-how-I'm-better-than-I-think-but-what-do-you-know?" Blues
That "Why-do-you-keep-telling-me-I-stink-when-I-adore-you?" Feeling
That "Say-I'm-all-the-world-to-you-you're-out-of-your-mind-
I-know-there's-someone-else-and-I-could-kiss-you-behind"
Those "You-say-I'm-terrific-but-your-taste-was-always-rotten" feelings
Those "Go-away-I-need-you"
"Come-to-me-I'll-kill-you"
"Darling-I'll-do-anything-to-keep-you-with-me-till-you-tell-me-that-you-love-me-oh-you-did-now-beat-it-will-you?" Blues
