Left Alone

[Verse 1] You made your major overtures When you were a sure and orotund mutt And I was still a dewey petal Rather than a moribund slut My love wrecked you You packed to twirl your skirt at the palace It hurt more than it ought to hurt I went to work to cultivate a callus [Pre-Chorus] And now I'm hard, too hard to know I don't cry when I'm sad anymore, no no Tears calcify in my tummy Fears coincide with the tow [Chorus] How can I ask anyone to love me When all I do is beg to be left alone? [Verse 2] Oh, when I try to love And I can love the same man in the same bed in the same city But not in the same room, it's a pity, but Oh, it never bothered me before Not 'til this guy, what a guy, oh God what a good guy And I can't even enjoy him [Pre-Chorus] 'Cause I'm hard, too hard to know I don't cry when I'm sad anymore, no no Tears calcify in my tummy Fears coincide with the tow [Chorus] How can I ask anyone to love me When all I do is beg to be left When all I do is beg to be left When all I do is beg to be left Alone? Alone? Alone? [Verse 3] My ills are reticulate My woes are granular The ants weigh more than the elephants Nothing, nothing is manageable So couldn't we skip the valedictories? I can see a door there Shut it and forget my number [Pre-Chorus] 'Cause I'm hard, too hard to know I don't cry when I'm sad anymore, no no Tears calcify in my tummy Fears coincide with the tow [Chorus] How can I ask anyone to love me When all I do is beg to be left When all I do is beg to be left When all I do is beg to be left alone?
