Like a grade school valentine   My heart is asking and aching all the time   When are you gonna know?   As near as time gets, you're moving awful slow      So, let?s talk about the way the world should be   It's not fair, when I'm cast as Gatsby   And I should have seen you coming like a speeding car   But you know me perennial Cassandra      If you wanna hurt me, it's an unqualified success   I don?t wanna hang around like a faded dress      When I was young, I thought   That I'd remember everything that I'd been taught   Now, it's clear I never learned anything   'Cause I come up empty, when it comes to you, dear      So, let?s talk about just how it's gonna be   Forget the love that once made her happy   'Cause I got a sneaking feeling about you   Such as you?ve got other better things to do      If you wanna hurt me, it's an unqualified success   I don?t wanna hang around like a faded dress   On the way out, on the way out      If worry is the color of currency   Then I'll pay the will for this movie   And I cant help but watch it again and again   'Cause at the end, when I rewind it you're right back with me      Like a grade school valentine   My heart is asking and aching all the time   And I got a sneaking feeling about you   Such as you?ve got other better things to do      If you wanna hurt me, it's an unqualified success   I don?t wanna hang around like a faded dress   I don?t wanna hang around like a faded dress   I don?t wanna hang around like a faded dress   On the way out, on the way out, on the way out
