"Here's another speech, you wish I'd swallow...
Another cue, for you to fold your ears
Another train of thought... too hard to follow...
Chugging along to the song,
that belongs to the shifting of gears...
Please forgive me for my distance
The pain is evident in my existence
Please forgive for my distance
The shame is manifest in my resistance
To your love, to your love, to your love...
I would've warned you, but really, what's the point?
Caution could but rarely ever helps...
Don't be down, when my demeanor tends to disappoint...
It's hard enough, even trying to be civil to myself?
Please forgive me for my distance
The pain is evident in my existence
Please forgive for my distance
The shame is manifest in my resistance
To your love, to your love, to your love...
My derring-do allows me, to dance the rigadoon... around you!
But by the time I'm close to you,
I lose my desideratum and now you... so... now you have it,
so baby tell me what's the word?
Am I your gal, or should I get out of town?
I just need to be reassured?
Do you just deal it out,
or can you deal... with what I lay down?
Please forgive me, for my distance
The pain is evident in my existence
Please forgive me for my distance
The shame is manifest in my resistance
To your love, to your love, to your love..."
