In this golden age of love songs We still can't seem to get it right Your kiss never tasted like honey to me The moon's bright face wasn't full Wasn't a romantic sky Just hanging there, incomplete And then the Tango began But my nose kept on itching Something feels off Something's not quite there (Background vocals: *Not there, not there, slipping away*) Why do I keep asking Why am I so alone? This rueful misery feels closer to truth Yet when the lamp turns down low I'm still singing your name Oh Baby! (At the top of my lungs) Someone once assured us all "No more I love you's" she said While pouring out her heart Contradiction dancing in bright lights What bothers me the most Is how we keep falling for the same worn-out lines And then the Tango began But my nose kept on itching Something feels off Something's not quite there (Background vocals: *Not there, fading out, dissolving*) Why do I keep asking Why am I so alone? This rueful misery feels closer to truth Yet when the lamp turns down low I'm still singing your name Oh Baby! (At the top of my lungs) Must admit that after everything You are still the one Baby, baby Making me so senseless That I'm standing in the shower Becoming everything I swore I'd never be The love songs never tell it like it is But I need them anyway The closer we get to what's real The harder it becomes to say Truth doesn't make for catchy melodies Just raw nerve endings exposed Why do I keep asking Why am I so alone? This rueful misery feels closer to truth Yet when the lamp turns down low I'm still singing your name Oh Baby! (At the top of my lungs) In the shower steam Singing all those lyrics I claim to hate At the top of my lungs For you Baby, baby Despite myself oh for you
