Story Behind The Song
This was inspired by a real life suitor at a particularly indecisve time in my life.
Song Description
Bouncy, chunky, Kinks-like riff introduces a melodic dear john letter. The narrator saucily explains that she needs two years of freedom before she could seriously consider the romantic candidate in question.

Lyrics
Used to be when I was young
They'd never call me back
Now G-d only knows they all propose
Each time we hit the sack
It's strange to me
Guess I'm just too friendly
You're smart, you're sweet, you're darling,
You've got all that I require
But if I swore I'd be your girl
I'd feel like such a hypocrite
It's sad but true
I only wish I was in love with you
(Chorus)
Just give me two, just give me two years
I'll be a little older then
And wiser, with any luck
I just need two, I just need two years
I fall apart each time I treat you
Like any other friend
If it seems I'm being mean
I do apologize
They way I'm feeling lately
I can't even look you in the eyes
But I've learned how
It'll hurt worse later if I don't do this right now
(Chorus)
