Lyrics
Clearly I don't have to ask
You could be made of plexiglass
Yes, I see
Right through you
I've understood for some time now
Just how this thing was playing out
Obviously, it's nothing new
I see you drawn to things
Whatever's really happening
The attitude, the gratitude
You darling little barracuda
Everything is crystal
I noticed the respect was gone
I should have known it all along
Yes, I see
It's personal
There's nothing here to fight about
But why should I knock myself out?
Obviously, it's irreversable
Abate your urge to dominate me
You'll find you underestimate me
Analytic, social critic,
Fabulously parasitic
Everything is crystal
Clearly I should cut some slack
And let it roll clean off my back
Yes, I see
I'm sensitive
I understand these things aren't planned
In no way should I feel abandoned
Obviously, you have a life to live
Before I go and drop the subject,
I'd like to voice one more objection
It's not the first time
Not the last time
Don't think I can afford much more time
Everyhing is crystal
