I don't want to get over you I guess I could take a sleeping pill And sleep at will And not have to go through What I go through I guess I should take Prozac, right? And just smile all night At somebody new Somebody not too bright But sweet and kind Who would try to get you off my mind I could leave this agony behind Which is just what I'd do If I wanted to But I don't want to get over you 'Cause I don't want to get over love
I could listen to my therapist Pretend you don't exist And not have to dream of What I dream of I could listen to all my friends And go out again And pretend it's enough Or I could make a career of being blue I could dress in black and read Camus Smoke clove cigarettes and drink vermouth Like I was seventeen That would be a scream But I don't want to get over you
