I remember, the night we met
That night we sat, entwined
Under summer skies
I looked into your eyes and you looked into mine
You said, 'You're not like the rest' (Oleander holly)
And I nodded(Crimson feet of Collie)'No one understands me', you said
And I nodded once again(Beautiful and lovely)
As if to agree that all men
Are indeed the same(My baby)
Somehow, you said(The only one)
I was different(Who really understands me)
Floating hand in hand we
Whisper in the moonlight
And say that
ImThe things you want to see(Coriander star child)
For months on end
I maintained(Goddess of the moonlight)
A veneer of sincere interest(Hold me in the morning )
Cause as if
I were listening
As you relived every page(And tell me Im)
Of self help and new age(The only one alive)
That you had read
And I went in for the kill(Who really understands you)
Id read the same books(Tell me pretty stories)
I learned to ape the motions
Of a sensitive human being(Say you understand me)
And we were oh, so happy(My baby)
But you found things to fix(The things you want to see)
And I knew it was time
To move on(That I could never be, in love, in love)
So now you have me, completely figured out
You feel sorry for me
I cant express my feelings,
I cant tell the truth
We are all alike
At puberty,
I was sworn to secrecy
By the international brotherhood
Of lying fickle males
I cant tell you anything and
I cant commit
You're right,
I cant commit to you(Hold me in the morning)
I will always treasure
Our time together(Tell me pretty stories)
I dont feel enough of anything
To harbor the kind of disdain(Say that youre the only one)
That youll maintain
You painted me into what you(My baby)
Wanted to see
And thats fine(But I could never be)
But you will never know me(In love, in love)

My baby, the only one
Who really understands me
