There's a thousand boys with their hearts in their mouths So I hadn't had the heart to spit it out That I'm smitten with my worries and my doubts No lovelorn prince would ever dare to sing about This record's skipping on a sigh You should know it's not that I would rather be Ambivalent in C But I've been quiet for so long It's only for the love of song That I read these tired letters Give me time I will do better There's a thousand boys with their knives at their throats Fired a thousand rounds out of their mouths before I spoke Yeah, I've been feeling low, but I'm not down and out just yet Give me a sunny day, maybe sometime in May, I might forget This record's skipping on a sigh You should know it's not that I would rather be Ambivalent in C But I've been quiet for so long It's only for the love of song That I read these tired letters Give me time I will do better This record's skipping on a sigh You should know it's not that I would rather be Ambivalent in C But I've been quiet for so long It's only for the love of song That I read these tired letters Give me time I will do better, better, better, oh woh woh
