Suspended Disbelief

Lyrical selections from the 2000s

Your Laundry (the Ballad of Thursday Afternoon)

You said we need to talk,
could you come over in an hour or two.
When I got there you didn't say a word
so what the hell was I supposed to do?
Well darlin' it's as plain
as the spring time rain,
I love you.

You showed me pictures of your puppy dog
and I admit she sure is cute.
Then you played me your favourite song
and I listened really hard for clues.
Well darlin' can't you see
what you're doin' to me,
I love you.

And I'm trying oh so hard
to fall out of love with you
it's too late now, my hands are tied
my heart's all black and blue
over you.

When I watched you fold your laundry
and put away your bras I couldn't help but stare at you
and every time you bent over to pick something up
you know exactly what I wanted to do.
And despite my best intentions
of looking for your imperfections
I still love you.

My friends all say that you're a fool
if you can't see how I feel.
I feel like I'm walking in a dream
where nothing else is real
except for you.

If you wanna know a woman's heart,
ask another woman and I've asked every one I know
and now they all wanna call ya up
and tell ya what they figure you should know,
you'll never find another like me,
I'll get down on my knees
for you.

And I'm trying oh so hard
to fall out of love with you
it's too late now, my hands are tied
my heart's all black and blue
over you.
