Edith Wharton knows where it's at Sledging toward the Varnum's and Count Olenska Beat beat my heart like a baseball bat Newland walks back alone to his hotel Find yourself somebody to love Try to find somebody who'll love you back Don't keep your heart with a lock or a key Put all your trust in me Someone's gonna get hurt tonight Someone's gonna get hurt tonight My life's not much like a novel I can't find somebody that's worth real sacrifice Beat beat my heart as much as I might If God is an author Wharton is a better one I believe in love but not every day Find yourself somebody to love Try to find somebody who'll love you back Don't keep your heart with a lock or a key Put all your trust in me Someone's gonna get hurt tonight Someone's gonna get hurt tonight My life's not much like a novel It's hard to see the beauty in it Sometimes I long for plot or structure The sense of order fiction brings Someone's gonna get hurt tonight Someone's gonna get hurt tonight Someone's gonna get hurt tonight
