The Only One
She says she wants leather shoes because they travel and won’t break
She asks for vintage jackets with pearl buttons and heartache
She refuses generosity because she doesn’t want the debt
She doesn’t want real diamonds, they remind her of regret
He hates the heat, but watches her burn
He can’t stand lies, but can’t sit and yearn
It’s all make up sex, no ones having fun
Keeps telling himself she’s the only one
She only travels in the autumn, the perfect time of year
She doesn’t like the beaches, says the sharks can smell her fear
She doesn’t believe in angels, says they always cloud her view
She like her friends off-kilter, and slightly jealous too
He hates the heat, but watches her burn
He can’t stand lies, but can’t sit and yearn
It’s all make up sex, no ones having fun
Keeps telling himself she’s the only one
She only eats at nighttime, says she needs to watch her weight
She will not go to restaurants, say they feel too much like dates
She doesn’t like a compliment, says they are loaded and untrue
She’s not the only woman, she reminds him of you.
He hates the heat, but watches her burn
He can’t stand lies, but can’t sit and yearn
It’s all make up sex, no ones having fun
Keeps telling himself she’s the only one
