She says It`s okay, I`m just affectionate.
But she doesn`t know what that means to me...
She says It`s my right to hang on him.
But she can`t see the hurt it causes me
Chorus:
I know she`s beautiful
and in that respect I`m falling behind
But as long as she`s stepping on my roses
She`s trampling all hope in my mind....
She says Don`t feel so bad about yourself.
But little does she know.
She says I don`t think I`m beautiful.
But it sure as hell doesn`t show.
(chorus)
I tell myself not to get into this mess...
Why must I let myself be so let down as this?
I try to say it`ll be fine by next year
but by the time I`m convinced, next year is here...
She says You`re so beautiful.
Then why does she try to prove differently?
She says You`ll find somebody someday.
Then why does she try to make someday so far away for me?
(chorus)
I know she`s perfect
and in that respect I do without
But as long as she`s stepping on my teardrops...
I`ll never know what true love`s all about..
But as long as she`s stepping on my roses...
She`s trampling all hope in my mind...
She says It`s okay, I`m just affectionate.
But she doesn`t know what that means to me...
