Well her voice carries water, but it won't carry weight He's known he couldn't stand her since the second date But he's known to get lonely, and the hours: they do get late He imagines she's gorgeous, imagines she cheats He'd rather wake up with a headache than a handful of sheets
Now they share the rent and the wall to wall carpet And they share admission at the La Brea Tar Pits And they share opinions on the passerby and their outfits She imagines he's handsome, imagines he cheats She'd rather wake up with a headache than a handful of sheets
Oh pray, don't meddle, when I say I'll settle Oh pray, don't meddle, oh pray You know damned well what I go through It's unpleasant and it's slow too So pray, don't meddle, oh pray
With a purpose and a pervert, she fell into bed She never rode the bus this late with her eyes this red Didn't mean the things she did, well I think she meant the things she said She knows that she's gorgeous, he knows that she cheats They'd rather wake up with regrets than handfuls of sheets
And they're the people who wait for the calls that don't come And the songs you hate, they're the ones that you hum the most
Oh pray, don't meddle, when I say I'll settle Oh pray, don't meddle, oh pray You know damned well what I go through It's unpleasant and it's slow too So pray, don't meddle, oh pray
Oh pray, don't meddle, when I say I'll settle Oh pray, don't meddle, oh pray You know damned well what I go through It's unpleasant and it's slow too So pray, don't meddle, oh pray
