No Violins

Except no violins
I can see the way you're leaning on the door
The shape you're in
You better go now cause you'll never be sad enough
Cut it out I mean it I don't even want to hear it
No violence
Orchestrate a little extra
Don't do it like you came in
Next time you might want to call me up
I'll see you walking down lonely street
Got the look but it's incomplete
And I don't want you to start
Playing with that cause it's nowhere near my heart
You better go now please
Please no violins
Look at me I made it baby listen can't you hear it
No violins
I can see the way you're driven on the carpet
The shape you're in
You better not come back, better not come back
Here's the door use it been great wait a minute
No violence
Conduct yourself like a human cause I'm not listening
This is the last sound
I am going to hear
I'll see you walking down lonely street
Got the look but it's incomplete
And I don't want you to start
Playing with that cause it's nowhere near my heart
You better go now please
Please no violins
I'll see you walking down lonely street
Got the look but it's incomplete
And I don't want you to start
Playing with that cause it's nowhere near my heart
You better go now please
Please no violins
Here's a song, it's got everything you want
Except no violins
I can see the way you're leaning on the door
The shape you're in
You better go now cause you'll never be sad enough
[Repeat: x3]
You'll never be sad enough
