I Don't Want to Get Over You

Lyrics

I don't wanna get over you
I guess I could take a sleepin' pill
And sleep at will
And not have to go through what I go through
I guess I should take Prozac, right?
And just smile all night
At somebody new

Somebody is not too bright
But sweet and kind
Who would try to get you off my mind
I could leave this agony behind
Which is just what I'd do
If I wanted to
But I don't wanna get over you

Lyrics continue below...

'Cause I don't wanna get over love
I could listen to my therapist
Pretend you don't exist
And not have to dream of what I dream of
I could listen to all my friends
And go out again
And pretend it's enough

Or I could make a career of bein' blue
I could dress in black and read Camus
Smoke clove cigarettes and drink Vermouth
Like I was 17, that would be a scream
But I don't wanna get over you
