I Don't Want To Get Over You

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
