Lyrics
The love that you make is a little insincere
It's a postcard that says "wish you were here" and
It's never enough to give me any hope
but too much --oh gawd -- I don't stand a chance
(No, I don't stand a chance)
I see you on Tuesday
Get a kiss on my cheek
the kind of soft touch
I can live off all week
But by Monday I'll probably be
walking down your street
to see if you?re gonna spot me a little advance.
(make just a little advance)
but you give me nothing, nothing-- nothing I don't like
oh you give me nothing, nothing-- nothing I don't like
At least gimme something
that I can resist
Write all your faults down on a list
All the lies that you've told,
other girls you've kissed
But nothing you tell me comes close
Will you ever come close?
The love that you make is a little insincere
It's a postcard that says "wish you were here" and
It's never enough to give me any hope
but too much --oh gawd,
you give me nothing, and nothing I don't like
you give me nothing, nothing I don't like
nothing I don't like
