Darling, I've Done This Dance Before

[Verse 1]

I left my goodbye note in your copy of ‘Infinite Jest’

'Cause I know you’ll never read it

Don't think you're dead inside, but when I lay my head on your chest

I don't hear anything beating

[Pre-Chorus 1]

And your favorite word is 'stay'

But you didn't want me anyway

I'm your insignificant other

'Cause the second I got free

You suddenly have the time for me

'Cause I've got that man-free shine on me

[Chorus]

Darling, I've done this dance before

If you can't have it then you want it even more

Now you'rе crying but it's making me laugh

The ones that makе your skin crawl always come crawling back

[Verse 2]

You missed my birthday party and blamed it on your parents' divorce

That happened when you turned 24

What's a nice way to say 'Get your car off my driveway'

I've got the exorcist coming over

[Pre-Chorus 2]

'Cause the second I got free

You suddenly started haunting me

'Cause I've got that man-free blonde on me

[Chorus]

Darling, I've done this dance before

If you can't have it then you want it even more

Now you're crying, oh, but it's making me laugh

The ones that make your skin crawl always come crawling back

[Bridge]

You said boys like us like girls like

You said boys like us like girls like

As the mirrorball spins, I dance alone again

(You said boys like us like girls like)

As the mirrorball spins, I dance alone again

(You said boys like us like girls like)

(And that's fine)

[Chorus]

Darling, I've done this dance before

If you can't have it then you want it even more

Now you're crying, oh, but it's making me laugh

The ones that make your skin crawl always come crawling back

[Outro]

As the mirrorball spins, I dance alone again
