[I don't want to get over you. 

I guess I could take a sleeping 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 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 want to get over you. 

Cause, I don't want to 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 being 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 want to get over you.]
