[Verse 1] I don't even need you I never tried to cry I used to ask so many questions, like that famous one: "Why?" Do you know him? Does he know you? Did you do a little hanky-panky off at the San Diego zoo? Did you see the koala's? Did you see the tigers and the bears, the wolves, the- The things you shouldn't see Did you hold his hand in a park? Did you go to a movie? How dare you have someone you cared about before me [Verse 2] It's so right for me to get jealous 'Cause I gotta think of you as a piece of property I've gotta hold on to you When I say you're my girl It really means that I own inside of my mind She thinks that s**y She thinks that cool 'Cause love should be based on insecurity, my fools I know, it's true And it feels so good to be slightly addicted to someone that you feel you can't learn about But don't worry now 'Cause there's more a-kissing and a-smooching and a-smooching and a-kissing and a-smooching And-a maybe just a little bit of f**ing [Verse 3] And you gotta do it right Listen to what they are saying Their body will respond in time, and kind, And you will understand or glean Oh, yes you'll glean 'Cause gleaning is a thing we can do If we really open up our listening Oh, yes I feel how lovers like to entwine in the moment 'Cause there's always the discrepancy between the biological lead to- to procreate, oh But sometimes it gets confused with the idea, the construct, that society lays upon us oh yeah [Verse 4] You watch a movie, you think it's like that, yeah You watch a TV show, you think it's like that, yeah You read a book and you think it's like that But it hasn't been like that for very long Because society hasn't developed the technology to place their stories and constructs in the philosophical medium that's entertaining for us to understand And plus there's so many of us here on this planet We need a system to organize ourselves in a way that makes us feel like we come from a tradition of culture [Verse 5] It's so cool, but it's scarier To get your things in order And understand that there's no order We're all improvising And any make it makes you happy is truly the way that you should survive Because otherwise you're living on your systems that don't match who you are And you'll be fighting that for all of the rest of your live Anyways, just be happy Just do everything with love And you'll see everything will be-e-a-okay Just do what you need Take that time to Do the in-between, the in-, the in- in- in-between [Solo 1] [Bridge] Don't, don't use those things against another person Remember every person is an opportunity To learn more about yourself 'Cause you are listening To where they're coming from And they represent a reflection of yourself [Verse 7] As long as you understand That there's more to this life There's always so much to this life [Solo 2] [Verse 8] Hey, oh, baby I like the way that you smile at me It makes me feel so good It makes me feel like anything's possible (oh yeah) As long as I don't lie no more To myself or to others It feels so much better 'Cause when I was younger I could lie Let me tell you, I could lie like a motherf**er And that is good, 'cause you gotta experience the darknesses The darkness is important to understand inside yourself It's not always about being good It's understanding why you're being good in the first place Oh, empathy's a b**h Once you feel it you can't get rid of that itch, it's true [Solo 3] [Verse 9] Just remember to all, all, all, all, always love yourself
