"All success is fleeting" I said to her
"Is that what you've been reading?"
She snapped and turned to someone else and said
"Wait, why is it that he was invited?"
That was fun

If you get this letter, and I hope you do,
Please don't get upset or misconstrued
My writing as it's not as favorable as the applause you got today

Why don't you say what you're really
intending to gain by falling for me

I still can't believe you thought us to be
more E.T. and Steeve than Nancy and Lee
when we did 'They all Laughed'
It was never more than an act but I had fun

Why don't you say what you're really
intending to gain by falling for me
If it's true, say that you'll be willing to believe
when I feign my questioning stare and instinct to care
when you clean the air
again

It's not like I had alluded
maybe if you didn't give anything away
given your lack of grace

Why don't you say what you're really
intending to gain by falling for me
If it's true, say that you'll be willing to believe
when I feign my questioning stare and instinct to care
when you clean the air
again
