Winter came a little cold this year She came along, so warm and near I nearly took her in right then and there A warm heart became a cold, turned shoulder Her sweet voice turned a little bit colder and I found it just a little too hard to care
All alone she showed the side that was nice But another thing again at night She was acting like the biggest whore at the cheapest price
I said, I don't wanna be your boyfriend now You just opened my eyes somehow, and it'll be a rainy day indoors before I take you back.
Winter gave way to springtime sun I told her she was the one new one and I started a motor everybody thought would never run I gave her lines she just loved to swallow But I can tell a girl from a ship so hollow, an empty vessel, cold from bow to stern
I could've had her but I need no fight I'm always there, but it just ain't right 'cos it's one thing to need me, but another thing to claim a right
I said, I don't wanna be your boyfriend now You just opened my eyes somehow, and it'll be a rainy day indoors before I take you back.
Schoolkids going back to the grind Another place and another time I found a girl to be nothing but mine, mine, mine And there was 'his and hers' crap deep in my heart Guess I deserved a fresh new start She said she thought of me again and again, but I ain't blind
I said, I don't wanna be your boyfriend now You just opened my eyes somehow, and it'll be a rainy day indoors before I take you back.
Did you end it 'cos you just changed your mind? Did you kill it 'cos I was too kind? Is it over 'cos your mother invited me? Did you figure it would kill you if you stayed happy?
Now I don't wanna be your boyfriend now You just opened my eyes somehow, and it'll be a rainy day indoors before I take you back. I said, I don't wanna be your boyfriend now You just opened my eyes, and how and I know you gave me your heart, but you can take it back!
