It was
such a pretty invitation
That I'm so sorry I declined
But snowballing downhill is so much more than
saying you were just inclined
You'll accept no imitation,
but you would steal the real thing
For window shopping at the bargain stores
for someone who will fit that ring
But we all know that you're not abstaining
It was so much easier when
you were just complaining
But
I, oh
I, would do anything or
anything for you now
The unnotorious vacations and
much more infamous retreats
Put you in that position of never
having to admit defeat
And all your other lovers,
they seem to look the other way
And when it's time for them to come,
you make the promise that they'll never stay
We all know that you're not abstaining
It was so much easier when
you were just complaining
But
I, oh
I, would do anything or anything for you now
Remembering with fondness,
things that never came to pass
And everything that you once hoped for,
you know now, will never ever last
But we all know that you're not abstaining
It was so much easier when
you were just complaining
But
I, oh
I, would do anything or anything
for you now
You
