Lyrics

Original Love

You said no commitment

When I asked you for a compromise

Just a compromise

Now I don't know why I ask you

It's always such a problem

Why make it a problem

You must be waiting for things to happen

Expecting something to happen

But nothing ever happens

Your voice raised in anger

Who knows what you're after

You don't know what you're after

You never seem to notice

The distance between us

The distance

You're only waiting for things to happen

Expecting something to happen

But nothing ever happens

Your weakness is getting stronger

With your disregard for conventions

I'm not looking for some

New kind of social age anyway

They all seem the same
