I don't have a dating line
If I did, you would be on it
Don't be offended, this isn't timed
I want to learn to care for myself a bit
If I had eyes for lust and a heart for love
Rest assured it would be you I'd be thinking of

But you fell on me like a cold, hard rain
You didn't excite me, you just soaked me to the skin
You buffeted my heart and buffered my brain
And I never thought I'd say this again
I want you and love you, but I really don't need you
Don't be offended, that's just life
How we feel is how it is
I don't want to take a wife

Tears won't change the status quo
Ignorance won't stop your fits
I could've spared you, but you should know
That your perfection scares me more than a bit
I want to be friends but not a cliché
Life is too short to reset me that way

But you fell on me like a cold, hard rain
You didn't excite me, you just soaked me to the skin
You buffeted my heart and buffered my brain
And I never thought I'd say this again
I want you and love you, but I really don't need you
Don't be offended, that's just life
How we feel is how it is
I don't want to take a wife

Pour your feelings in a jar
Like a libation to the gods
I know what I say, see these scars
When you gamble with love, you'd better know the odds
If you're masochistic or a mastermind
You'll kill us both by keeping your pain inside

But you fell on me like a cold, hard rain
You didn't excite me, you just soaked me to the skin
You buffeted my heart and buffered my brain
And I never thought I'd say this again
I want you and love you, but I really don't need you
Don't be offended, that's just life
How we feel is how it is
I don't want to take a wife

You ask about our future
But I'm not going to tell you
You ask me if I love you
But I'm not going to tell you
You ask me what I'm thinking
But I'm not gonna tell you
I'm not gonna tell you

Will you hate me forever?
I know we won't be real friends
You'll burn my gifts and try to sever
I hope you didn't think we'd never end
Thought we fail almost every time we strive
I don't know what makes humans survive

But you fell on me like a cold, hard rain
You didn't excite me, you just soaked me to the skin
You buffeted my heart and buffered my brain
And I never thought I'd say this again
I want you and love you, but I really don't need you
Don't be offended, that's just life
How we feel is how it is
I don't want to take a wife

You ask about our future
But I'm not going to tell you
You ask me if I love you
But I'm not going to tell you
You ask me what I'm thinking
But I'm not gonna tell you
I'm not gonna tell you

I'm not handling this too well
I'm in an uncomfortable spot
I felt like a jerk when your smile fell
It's hard to say "I love you" and then break your heart
This is a selfish speech at your expense
Now you'll spend your time looking for recompense

But you fell on me like a cold, hard rain
You didn't excite me, you just soaked me to the skin
You buffeted my heart and buffered my brain
And I never thought I'd say this again
I want you and love you, but I really don't need you
Don't be offended, that's just life
How we feel is how it is
I don't want to take a wife

I want you and love you, but I really don't need you
Don't be offended, that's just life
How we feel is how it is
I don't want to take a wife
