Lyrics
VERSE
Yes, that's right, that's her right over there
Don't come unglued; she's gonna see you stare
Come on, that was then; yeah, she's always had that hair
Come on, be fair; you know she never had a prayer
CHORUS
She could treat my symptoms, baby, but you're my cure
She could be on target, maybe, but your love is pure
She could treat my symptoms, but you're my cure
VERSE
It's been a year; it goes back a long way
Okay, maybe six months; you know it wasn't yesterday
Where I want to go, I don't need her assistance
Come on, you gotta know, I barely recall her existence
Repeat CHORUS
SOLO
VERSE
I guess it doesn't matter that I didn't know you then
Or that she was maybe a five and you are a perfect ten
Or that all the King's horses and all the King's men
Couldn't put me and her back together again
Repeat CHORUS
BRIDGE
Thank you very, very much for calming down
She never had your touch; you're the world, she's a town
TAG
Okay, okay, so she's just an unincorporated village, geez...
