Give me time living with all the shit that I've been given
They don't make people like they used to
It's not the kind of problem you wash down with pills
It doesn't hurt anybody, it only kills

And I don't know why I feel like I do
There ain't nobody quite as sweet as you
But I got a strange disease, you call vanity, I call it sanity

Take your time living with all the pain that you've been given
one day soon I'll call you with the good news

At least I got this one thing, and I know it's the truth
When I'm with other people, oh I think of you

And I don't know why, I do what I do
When anyone would kill to be with you
But I got a strange disease, You call vanity, I call it sanity

If you come over nobody has to know
But once again I can't be held be responsible
We need to be see through, so we can get thru
Another night until I can see you
