After all the pleading
It's the best thing, really
She won't go
It's the best thing, really
Everything will seem quiet for a time
A normal girl with a normal frame of mind
Then there she is, a-stomping her feet
She's screaming that her soul is incomplete
Now
After all the pleading
It's the best thing, really
She won't go
She won't – Never will – Isn't gonna go a-
She won't – Never will – Isn't gonna go a-
She won't – Never will – Isn't gonna go away
There was talk of letting her die
Sweet little devil, poor little thing
It couldn't work with her gone
We've been without parents far too long
Now here's a kid who knows what she needs
She wants a kiss for everyplace she bleeds
Now
After all the pleading
It's the best thing, really
She won't go
I've asked her politely but
She won't – Never will – Isn't gonna go away
She won't – Never will – Isn't gonna go away
She won't go
Anywhere anytime soon
Who's gonna keep your full moon blue
Who's gonna keep your full moon blue
I tried to show her the way to have her say
She'd rather brood or throw tantrums in my brain
I think I'd better grow accustomed to her
I guess we'll always be the bigger Me and little Her
Now
After all the pleading
It's the best thing, really
She won't go
I've asked her politely but
She won't – Never will – Isn't gonna go away
Is this the best thing, really
After all the pleading
It's the best thing really
She won't go
It's the best thing, really
She won't – Never will – Isn't going to go away
