What toi did to me made me
See myself something different
Though I try to talk sense to myself
But I just won't listen

Won't toi go away
Turned yourself in
You're no good at confession
Before the image that toi burned me in
Tries to teach toi a lesson

What toi did to me made me see myself somethin' awful
A voice once stentorian is now again meek and muffled
It took me such a long time to get back up the first time toi did it
I spent all I had to get it back, and now it seems I've been outbidded

My peace and quiet was stolen from me
When I was looking with calm affection
toi were searching out my imperfections

What wasted unconditional love
On somebody
Who doesn't believe in the stuff

toi came upon me like a hypnic jerk
When I was just about settled
And when it counts toi recoil
With a cryptic word and leave a l’amour belittled

Oh what a cold and common old way to go
I was feeding on the need for toi to know me
Devastated at the rate toi fell below me

What wasted unconditional love
On somebody
Who doesn't believe in the stuff

Oh, well
