CATHERINE
My best friend had a little situation at the end of our senior year
And like a shot, she and Mitchell got married that summer
Carolann getting bigger ev'ry minute, thinking "What am I doing here?"
While Mitchell's out ev'ry night, being a heavy-metal drummer
They got a little cute house on a little cute street with a crucifix on the door
Mitchell got a job at a record store in the mall
Just the typical facts of a typical life in a town on the Eastern Shore –
I thought about what I wanted
It wasn't like that at all
Made Carolann a cute baby sweater
Thinking "I can do better than that."
In a year or so, I moved to the city, thinking "What have I got to lose?"
Got a room, got a cat, and got twenty pounds thinner
Met a guy in a class I was taking who you might say looked like Tom Cruise -
He wouldn't leave me alone 'less I went with him to dinner
And I guess he was cute, and I guess he was sweet, and I guess he was good in bed -
I gave up my life for the better part of a year
So I'm starting to feel like this maybe might work, and the second it entered my head
He needed to take some time off
Focus on his "career" -
He blew me off with a heartfelt letter -
I thought, "I can do better than that."
You don't have to get a haircut
You don't have to change your shoes
You don't have to like Duran Duran
Just love me
You don't have to put the seat down
You don't have to watch the news
You don't have to learn to tango
You don't have to eat prosciutto
You don't have to change a thing
Just stay with me
I want you and you and nothing but you
Miles and piles of you -
Finally I'll have something worthwhile
To think of each morning –
You and you and nothing but you
No substitution will do
Nothing but fresh, undiluted and pure
Top of the line
And totally mine!
I don't need any lifetime commitments, I don't need to get hitched tonight
I don't want you to throw up all your walls and defenses
I don't mean to put on any pressure, but I know when a thing is right –
And I spend every day reconfiguring my senses
When we get to my house, take a look at that town, take a look at how far I've gone–
I will never go back, never look back anymore
And it feels like my life led right to your side and will keep me there from now on
Think about what you wanted
Think about what could be
Think about how I love you -
Say you'll move in with me
Think of what's great about me and you
Think of the bullshit we've both been through
Think of what's past, because we can do
Better!
We can do better!
We can do better than that!
We can do better than that!
