I don' t want to spend the rest of my life
Starin? At a man, looking down a line
What' s he say? " not my style?
Just a stylized version of an obsolete file
I don' t want to spend the rest of my time
Lookin? For the words i' m never going to find
You read them in a book and apply them to your life
But how can I be as pretty as she writes?
I know i' m all right. Because
The needle can' t burn what the needle can' t find
She don' t want to spend the rest of her heart
Waste it on a job, and never get a start
Part of her says she should be herself
And part of her says she should be with someone else
I don' t want to spend the rest of my life
Looking for a girl i' m never gonna find.
Starin? Back at me when I come home at night
But how can she be as pretty as I write?
It will be hard, but I know i' m all right,
Because the needle can' t burn
What the needle can' t find
And the money won' t save what the money
Can' t buy
And part of me is safe
And part of me is lies
So be mine tonight.
