Slow to Learn

She's in the corner dealing the cards She looks around and round And slowly puts her poker face on She's such a tease, a tease It's just about the one thing she knows The only way to get the certain thing she already owns You know she always gets them somehow by the way that she moves It's how she's reaching the goal The goal is finally scored But she is never alone She looks again at her watch Watch her as she will pretend That she is harmless and nice You're slow to learn That you can't win with her No, no You're slow to learn That you can't win with her No, no She's baffled but she swears she's secure The insecurity has gone and gotten the best of her The best has yet to come We know just how the story will end We know about the drinks, the smokes, And half an hour boyfriends You think they really love you Loving in this case is the cure The cure is never really present When you're speaking with her It's really getting to her... And are you missing the note? The note is C flat, but G sharp She's sharper but she don't blow She's sinking to the bottom You're slow to learn That you can't win with her No, no You're slow to learn That you can't win with her No, no Staring at a form that bleeds This scene is dark and dreary Tears are overflowing to me Me of the ordinary girl But she always knew that she was She wasn't ordinary Special was the meaning of course How they would describe her The end is coming closer Looking, and she's ready to go Let's go take lots of pictures Maybe some would sell in the end Turn into something That will end up being quite... My god, does no one love you? You're slow to learn That you can't win with her You're slow to learn That you can't win with her Oh, oh You're slow to learn That you can't win with her You're slow to learn That you can't win with her
