I was on the inside looking out for you,
You were on the outside looking in,
You talked a lot about original sin,
And you were only nineteen, baby

I like to talk about your fantasies,
I like to talk about your dreams,
You like to talk about my struggle with heroin
And why I look so sleepy

Oh yeah,
I’m just another trendy creature of habit,
Oh yeah,
My heart’s here for you so reach out and grab it,
Oh yeah
You can have your cake and eat it,
What’s wrong with you?
So I’ve got a couple of problems,
But who doesn’t have a few?
But I don’t understand why I don’t understand you,
I don’t understand why I don’t understand you

Took you to a fancy restaurant,
Go to place with no escape,
I had a little run in with your ignoramus,
Saw your ex-boyfriend

He looked me up and down and over,
He searched me up and down the sides,
He tried to break every bone in my hand,
And undress you late at night

Oh yeah,
I just love we’ve got these stupid complications,
Oh yeah,
All jealousy, and drugs and accusations,
Oh yeah,
You can have your cake and eat it,
What’s wrong with you?
So I’ve got a couple of problems,
But who doesn’t have a few?
But I don’t understand why I don’t understand you,
I don’t understand why I don’t understand you

This could be the time, sister,
To be sisterly to me,
I follow you into the fire,
And you owe me, yeah,
Oh yeah,
You can have your cake and eat it
What’s wrong with you?
So I’ve got a couple of problems,
But who doesn’t have a few?
But I don’t understand why I don’t understand you,
I just don’t understand why I don’t understand you
