Lyrics for Song: I Don't Want To Get Over You
Lyrics for Album: 69 Love Songs Pt. 1 [1999]
I don't want to get over you
I guess I could take a sleeping pill and sleep at will
Not have to go through what I go through
I guess I should take Prozac right
And just smile all night at somebody new
Somebody not too bright, but sweet and kind
Who would try to get you off my mind
I could leave this agony behind
Which is just what I'd do, if I wanted to
But I don't want to get over you
'Cause I don't want to get over love
I could listen to my therapist, pretend you don't exist
And not have to dream of what I dream of
I could listen to all my friends and go out again
And pretend it's enough
Or I could make a career of being blue
I could dress in black and read Camus
Smoke clove cigarettes and drink vermouth
Like I was seventeen that would be a scream
But I don't want to get over you
