Sometimes I Think She Takes Me Along Just For The Ride - Kingmaker

We walked into town like sister and brother

She wore my hand-me-downs I wore a pair of her jeans

Very soon I was accosted by one of her ex-lovers

He said, «I want what’s mine». I said, «Take her»

He said, «I meant those jeans!»

She was making eyes at another

She tells a modicum of lies

She refers to me as her brother

And sometimes I think she takes me along just for the ride

She said if she was a painter she’d paint me but I’d be no masterpiece

She doesn’t want to be tied down and I could take it or leave it

We might live in the same town but we don’t live in the same world

That explains why when she sees me she needs a local anaesthetic

She won’t take your opinions

She says she’s got more pride

She said, «Stick 'em in a museum!»

And sometimes I think she takes me along just for the ride

This must be the tenth night in a row

I’ve taken her out then driven her home

When conversation dies Nothing will arise

Why I don’t fit her casual tastes She just can’t say…

I’m just a sympathetic ear for all the claims she makes

While she scours the fields for her four-leafes clover

I just wish that we were playing for higher stakes

'Cause this is like being run over over and over

She only looks at others

She tells nothing but lie after lie after lie after lie

She refers to ME as her brother

And sometimes I think she takes me along just for the ride
