Lyrics

Can You Believe It?

I really like the makeup sex

It's the only kind I ever get

And when I'm gazing longingly in your eyes

It's not for you but the self I left behind

Can you believe it

Can you believe it

Can you believe it felt so wrong?

Can you believe it

Can you believe it

Can you believe it feels so right?

I'm sharpening the chip on my shoulder

As I get angrier I get older

There are fewer and fewer people to complain to

So I built a ship of shit and direct it at you

Can you believe it

Can you believe it

Can you believe it felt so wrong?

Can you believe it

Can you believe it

Can you believe it feels so right?

I'll show you mine

If you show me the time of day

In your cradlers' glove

We'll drink some wine, with the passing of time

We will surely make love

Can you believe it

Can you believe it

Can you believe it felt so wrong?

Can you believe it

Can you believe it

Can you believe it feels so right?

I love you baby

I don't know why

It's the chemicals I see in your eyes

And when you touch me, I feel kind of numb

I need you like a baby needs to suck his thumb

Can you believe it

Can you believe it

Can you believe it felt so wrong?

Can you believe it

Can you believe it

Can you believe it feels so right?

I love you baby, I don't know why
