Picture, Picture

Dog in the manger, always a danger
You got me so, so wrong
So what? So long
Don’t be a stranger
It had barely started out
Before it started heading south
In the never ending story
Of the love that dare not shut its mouth
I get the picture (picture!)
I think I get it (think, no!)
I think I know (no, no!)
I wish I didn’t (still!)
I think I get it
Behind the curtain, we got to flirting
It was a gateway drug (I know, I know)
It’s disconcerting, even now
When I’m still driving by your house
When it’s late at night and the lights are out
And I saw somebody sneaking in your side door
(What are friends for, anyway?)
I’m just wondering who you think
You are fooling with such a tired myth
That says some people are better off alone
Than with a steppin' stone
I get the picture (picture!)
I think I get it (think, ha!)
I think I know (no, no!)
I wish I didn’t (still!)
I think I get it
Why do you insist on being such a girl about it?
You said you hoped we could still be friends
I doubt it
No one owes a debt
Index finger, second fret, another song
A torch to warm the winter of our disconnect
Now I’m still trying to decide
Between thwarted lust and wounded pride
When I see your absence everywhere I look
And even when I close my eyes
I get the picture (picture!)
I think I get it (think, no!)
I think I know (no, no!)
I wish I didn’t
Wish I could be cold (cold!)
Like certain people up in the mixture (no, no!)
I get the picture (still!)
I think I get it
