Do me a favor, would you please   hang up the receiver on me   before I, before I talk my vocabulary dry.      [Chorus:]   Cold colas to coexist   hold sodas in both her fists   I...I'd hoped for a different you.   there's comfort in the clamor of cafés   solace from the abyss of days   I...I'd hoped for a different you.   still I trace your gaze   but that's stalker praise, and I lack the turn of phrase      Do me a favor, would you, my Doe   Don't come over later, don't spend two days in a row   I know my pre-calculated charm will soon run low.      [Chorus]      Every morning through Ma's twin rose trellises   grammar, middle, and Lake High   barber college, through Ma's twin rose trellises      I'd planned to pick for you a rose; my hell, this is   a plan's as close as I'll ever get; my hell, this is   I haven't yet, I haven't yet, I haven't yet...      [Chorus]      Do me a favor, be rational   save me the labor of the breakup call   just assume the worst   when the phone don't ring, dismiss me to the hearse
