You’ve got a way with words, my darling. You’ve got a way with words and me. You’ve got a way with words, my darling. No one competes with your vocabulary. When the sun rises, you greet me good morning And you tell me bout all your crazy dreams. And as it sets, you tell me about your day at the office. And not one single detail bores me. But in the silence, in the quiet, your eyes turn a shade of mean. And your lips keeps talking to someone, but your eyes are talking to me. You don’t have to say a word, baby, cause I know that you’ve been down You don’t have to say a word, my darling cause for now I’ll be around Born to ignite and light on fire conversation You impress every new soul you meet Raised to recite your monologues with perfect dictation – You’re so quick … to think on your feet. But after your curtain call, no rehearsal tomorrow – Can we just breathe while we sway to the beat? My disco ball spinning, tiny mirrors reflecting our feelings - On a room full of just you and me? You don’t have to say a word, baby, cause I know that you’ve been down You don’t have to say a word, my darling, cause for now I’ll be around This bed was made for two, this bed was made for you So slide in silently…

Boy loves me so much he turned off his phone Boy loves me so much he left me alone Boy loves me so much he got overwhelmed Boy loves me so much, he couldn’t be found Boy loves me so much (Sha la la la la la, look at me) He loves me so much! (Sha la la la, happy as can be) Boy loves me so much (Sha la la la la la, finally free) He loves me so much (Now that I got a boy in love with me!) Boy loves me so much, he promised his soul Boy loves me so much, I’m not letting go Boy loves me so much, he just disappeared Boy loves me so much, I dried all my tears Boy loves me so much (Sha la la la la la, on my knees!) Boy loves me so much (Stop making this so very hard for me!) Boy loves me so much (I want my baby in bed with me) Boy loves me so much (His whereabouts are a mystery) Sha la la la la la, on my knees Stop making this so very hard for me I want my baby here in bed with me His whereabouts are a mystery Boy loves me so much, it just isn’t fair Boy loves me so much that he’s unaware.

You did a number on me, you did a number on me I gotta be seen to be believed, cause you did a number on me. Mama’s Sunday School is praying for me; she hasn't heard from me in weeks. Friends try to take me out for a drink, but my dark room's become sanctuary; Cause you used to be here too, I used to be with you. And no matter how dark the room, my heart would shine for two. You’re right, I’ll be fine. In my next life, I’ll be fine. But for this time, I’m just slowing dying Til my time finally comes, Cause you were my number one. You did a number on me, you did a number on me I wear your pajamas in the street, put out your cigarettes in my sheets This feels like my end. Please God, let this be the end. You’re always right, I’ll be fine In my next life, maybe I’ll be fine. But for this time, I’ll be slowing dying Til my time finally comes Cause you are my only one.
