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 17 that would be a scream but
I don't want to get over you.

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 17
That would be a scream
But I don't want to get over you.
