Lyrics

(verse)

She said that our love was no bigger than a flea
But don't you know that fleas are very hard to kill
Well, I tried and I tried and I tried and I tried
To put my spin on it
I could not make things go my way

(chorus)

She, she can't believe in me
I'm just a painful memory
A polluted dream

(verse)

She told me that I was a fair weather lover
But Southern California's weather's always fine
Well, she cried and she cried as I tried hard to hide
My victorious smile
I could not make her understand

(chorus)

She, can't believe in me
I'm just a painful memory
A polluted dream

(bridge)

She can't believe in me
She won't believe in me
She won't even acknowledge
That I ever existed

(verse)

She told me that there's plenty of fish in the sea
But not if you still fish in this polluted stream
Well, I tried and I tried to aplologize to her
It was too late
I could not make it up to her

(chorus)

She... can't believe in me
I'm just a painful memory
A polluted dream

She can't believe in me
She won't believe in me
She won't even acknowledge
That I ever existed
