Iberian Girl

Walking along, singing a song that I wrote for my girlfriend
Well, it seems that fall has finally come this way
I was surprised, she was obliged,
asked me why I thought she should stay
And, for all my thoughts, I found I had nothing to say

You could see what's gone wrong
That my love took too long
Now it seems all I've been working for is gone

I never thought that I'd be stumbling down this road again
Well, you'd think I'd learn from all my past mistakes
But here I am I'm standing
face-to-all the pretty pictures under my bed
And, inside,
I hear that nasty little tremor of questions start to quake

Is it me? I don't know
Some would say she should go
'Cause I'm only going to end up saying no

(Have no fear)
They say it's not so bad to run around
(Sow those oats, dear
What's this here?)
But the only time I wanna be in somebody's arms
Is with my feet flat on the ground

I paid a doctor to take a camera to my brain
And analyse all the shots she took
But the negatives came out a bit too dark
And then she asked me if I would rather go
For dinner and a movie one autumn night
Or just pack a lunch and sit out in the park

Was that real? who could say?
Did she mean, "Come my way?"
Well, we'll find out over wine and cheese today
