She turns down my proposal "It is way past the hour." I took the outcome for granted I did it for the last time Ten minutes into the day I'm waiting for the night time to come Walk out of the treatment into my weekend I leave with a mixed mind, oh why And I say I need my novocaine If you love me my old friend Don't beg me to explain Shut me down and leave me be Gimme my novocaine You say you love me just the way I am But do you want me to beg for you? Shut me down, and don't ask me why My novocaine into the clear out of the phantom fear Why can't I always feel this glad? I ain't an old man, not even a grown man Still she makes me feel so bad Hey sister, I know you miss me I'm gonna play with my old friends now Your odd words got me cryin' Novocaine pulls me up when you put me down Love's never enough for you And l say to my man
