lyrics

Seems that when I’ve got the mind to pay you no attention
That’s the time you get to thinking about my past affection
I know I don’t make things easy
What am I to do?
I can’t stand looking at you
(Look at you, look at you)

Once I start to get the confidence that you still love me
You go missing and I go to places you might still be
I can’t help but feel pathetic
What am I to do?
I feel shameful kissing you
(Kissing you, kissing you)

I’m afraid to be alone
I’d rather have you half the time than try to do anything on my own
I don’t think that I’m capable of giving love
I’m going to have to fake it through I just might do it right

I break down when you come up to me and say you’ve missed me
I would leave my friends behind if it were necessary
I don’t think I have a backbone
What am I to do?
I’ve tried to get real with you
(Real with you, real with you)

I begin to think you’re good for me and the facts will back it
But you start dancing with that asshole in the leather jacket
I shouldn’t be so judgemental
What am I to do?
I try too hard to please you
(Pleasing you pleasing you)

“I love My Boyfriend. They’re normal-core mutants from an imaginary 1960s: in which the Beatles took lots of antidepressants that didn't work or an imaginary ’80s in which Jonathan Richman only ever listened to The 5th Dimension and early Philly Soul records.”
