for you
From the tip of my tongue to the tip of my toe
With a single glance from you anything will go
We own this bar tonight and we own this whole city
When you own the world it's hard to think that it's pretty
But war is far off tonight, you're my comrade unarmed
If you see your reflection I'm sure that I am charmed
Don't write me off my friend 'cause you'll pay twice in the end
And I'm not going home alone tonight
I never was an advocate of rational thinking
I did a lot of stare and think and stare and think and stare and think
I'll buy another round of whatever you are drinking
And decide not to decide anything at all
Mary is five and she plays with G.I. Joe
Mummy won't find out if she keeps her voice down low
All the other girls have a pink carriage in tow
And little Mary smiles cause she's the only one who knows
But if Billy played with dolls they'd kick sand in his eyes
And no one would help him, 'cause a big boy's not supposed to cry
What if I was Mary and you were little Bill
Could we spend the night together, hold the interrogator's drill?
I never was an advocate of loving and leaving
I guess I'm not strong enough to love and leave and love and leave
I can't live without her voice or the sound of her breathing
So I'll learn not to love anyone at all
Maybe I'm tired and nothing tempts me anymore
Nothing makes me laugh the way I laughed long before
Maybe I grew out of dressing in and dressing up
Or maybe I just grew too much, forgot to tell myself to stop
I never joined the army so I guess I haven't lost
But somewhere in my childhood my will to fight got tossed
And you were beaten out of your bangles and your braids
I guess there's more to learning life than competing for good grades
I never was an advocate of learning and losing
My memory is weak so I must learn and lose and learn and lose
This bar is getting crowded maybe we should go cruising
And learn not to lose any time at all
Take it away
Take it away
The pain
And give me ten fold this love
With a single glance from you anything will go
We own this bar tonight and we own this whole city
When you own the world it's hard to think that it's pretty
But war is far off tonight, you're my comrade unarmed
If you see your reflection I'm sure that I am charmed
Don't write me off my friend 'cause you'll pay twice in the end
