I Know What Boys Like
I know what boys like I know what guys want
I know what boys like I've got what boys like
I know what boys like I know what guys want
I see them looking I make them want me I like to tease them
They want to touch me I never let them
I know what boys like I know what guys want
I know what boys like boys like me
But you, you're special I might let you
You're so much different I might let you
Would you like that I might let you
I know what boys like I know what guys want
I know what boys like I know what's on their mind
I know what boys like I know what guys want
They talk about me I got my cat moves that so upsets them
Zippers and buttons fun to frustrate them
They get so angry like pouty children
Denied their candy I laugh right at them
I know what boys like I know what guys want
I know what boys like boys like me
I feel sad now I will let you
Sorry, I teased you I will let you
This time I mean it I will let you
Anything you want you can trust me
I really want to you can trust me
How would you like it you can trust me
I know what boys like I know what guys want
I know what boys like boys like me
Christmas Wrapping
Bah Humbug, now that's too strong because it is my favorite holiday
But all this year's been a busy blur don't think I have the energy
To add to my already mad rush just 'cause it's 'tis the season
The perfect gift for me would be completions and connections left from last year
Ski shop encounter most interesting had his number but never the time
Most of '81 passed along those lines so deck those halls trim those trees
Raise up cups of Christmas cheer I just need to catch my breath
Christmas by myself this year calendar picture, frozen landscape
Chill this room for twenty-four days Evergreens Sparkling snow get this winter over with!
Flash back to spring time saw him again would have been good to go for lunch
Couldn't agree when we were both free we tried, we said we'd keep in touch
Didn't of course 'till summertime out to the beach to his boat could I join him?
No This time it was me sunburn in the third degree now the calendar's just one page
Of course I am excited tonight's the night I've set my mind not to do too much about it
Merry Christmas, merry Christmas but I think I'll miss this one this year
Merry Christmas, merry Christmas but I think I'll miss this one this year
Hardly dashing through the snow because I bundled up too tight
Last minute have-to-dos a few cards, a few calls because it's RSVP
No, thanks no party lights it's Christmas Eve, gonna relax turn down all of my invites
Last fall I had a night to myself same guy called, Halloween party
Waited all night for him to show this time his car wouldn't go
Forget it, it's cold, it's getting late trudge on home to celebrate
In a quiet way unwind doing Christmas right this time
A&P has provided me with the world's smallest turkey
Already in the oven, nice and hot damn guess what I forgot
So on with the boots back out in the snow to the only all night grocery
When what to my wondering eyes should appear
In the line is that guy I've been chasing all year
Spending this one alone he said give me a break, this year's been crazy'
I said 'Me too, but why are you you mean you forgot cranberries too?'
Then suddenly we laughed and laughed caught on to what was happening
That Christmas magic's brought this tale to a very happy ending
Merry Christmas, merry Christmas couldn't miss this one this year
Merry Christmas, merry Christmas couldn't miss this one this year
No Guilt
Needed new posters, so I bought them I know the cost of stamps now
The thirty-first is when I pay the phone bill I told them I don't even know anybody in Toronto
Everyday at seven I've been watching Walter I've been reading more and looking up the hard words
I met people who get me on the guest list my parents said that they would help me pay for grad school
You know I have never washed a sweater I never knew when my hair was to long
I got the cab calls out of my hi-fi I learned a lot since you've been gone
I've done a lot since you've been gone
Not bitter-beat the vicious cycle typecast as the model couple
I'm sorry but I don't feel awful it wasn't the end of the world
I'm sorry I can't be helpless it wasn't the end of the world
I know someone who really met Belushi I fixed the toilet so it doesn't always run
I moved a chair over by the window I feel better if my laundry's done
Getting by on less sleep then I used to I had no trouble setting up a desk
I learned the reason for a three-pronged outlet I got 100 on my drivers test
I got a trick to get them to deliver I called the landlord when the water turned brown
Did you know I own some valuable records I've done a lot since you've been gone
I've learned a lot since you've been gone
No mad-beat a vicious cycle typecast as the model couple
I'm sorry but I don't feel awful it wasn't the end of the world
I'm sorry I can't be helpless it wasn't the end of the world
The Smartest Person I Know
The smartest person I know was worried that they don’t fit in
When everyone’s running this way they’re always running that way
The smartest person I know was worried about their career
Their work was once important now it’s empty and redundant
And when they mentioned something ‘bout a fifth wheel
I told the smartest person I know: big wheels turn real slow
When you finally get a bone to throw there’s no dog around to catch it
The trouble with you is your life you’re awkward because you’re normal
You’re worthlessly over-qualified and hopelessly hopeful
The trouble with you is you’re right you’re the smartest person I know
That’s why you feel like fifth wheel."
The trouble with you is you’re right isn’t that most inspiring?
Really such a comfort useful and encouraging
The trouble with you is you’re right and the smartest person you know
Also probably feels like a fifth wheel
The smartest person I know was worried about their lover
We were both going this way now we’re both going that way
The smartest person I know asked if anybody else was sick of living
With the end just around the corner under the boom that never comes
And again they mentioned something ‘bout a fifth wheel
I told the smartest person I know: big wheels turn real slow
When you finally get a bone to throw there’s no dog around to catch it
The trouble with you is you’re right you’ve got values so you’re immoral
You struggle ‘cause you work too hard not cool ‘cause you’re too real
The trouble with you is you’re right like this other person I know, who says
I'm the smartest person they know and be glad that I feel like a fifth wheel
Thinking About Sex Again
There I go thinking about sex again
Gonna stop masking my feelings behind bitter jokes and cigarettes
I'm not the girl who purred and spat wait right here, I'll be right back
There I go thinking about sex again
Gonna "X" my "BFD-ing" chances to "GF and BF"
I'm not the girl who's animal was the unknown she tried to forget
Was I boring, all that brooding chaste or chasing, never choosing
Too bad, had to, owed it, to me found I, don't want, some one, who'll be anything to keep me happy
Anything to keep me saw that boyfriends can't be six-packs hot meals, soft chairs, when I want them
Night spot, nice guy, some nice touching can't say that's just liquor talking
Tensing, tingling, I'm not teasing
This time I know what I'm doing back to back like siamese twins
Panic used to begin never again really meant when I was ready with conditions
There I go thinking about sex again
Bread And Butter
Tell me, say it again how things are getting better
I'll pretend to believe it as long as this foot's on my neck
Now what's being taken away? what else am I giving up?
Choked on illusion and myth I believed in pistons
Trusted malls and movies that's how the bait and the hook
Plays one against the other playing games with my bread and butter
How do you like you new house how do you like your new car?
You say you never got 'em no kidding...me neither.
What do you think of that new car what do you think of those new clothes?
Come on, tell me, no one's listening how you thought there'd always be plenty of bread and butter
Held back, biting my tongue with great expectations
I learned your language now I know how to curse
Threats that keep me in line lie or lose my bread and butter
Can't drug or dance it away can't get away from it all
Guess what? I'm 'it'. as the world winds down and I slam into limits
Frozen in and frozen out of my bread and butter
