歌词：Violent Femmes. Promise.

Ya know that I want your loving
but my logic tells me it ain't never gonna happen
and then my defenses say I didn't want it anyway
but you know, sometimes I'm a liar.

Could you ever want me to love you?
Could you ever want me to care?
Disregard my nervousness
Please ignore my vacant stares
Just what I've been through
is nothing like where I'm going to
Give me some sign of pursuit
a promise
and you're unhappy
this is only a guess.

Do you know what it's like to hate
when it's way down deep inside?
Oh God I hate what's been done to my life
I could rule the pain
I could rule the night
or would I ruin my salvation
ruin my mind?
Rule your pains
Rulers of the night
Ruin your salvation
Ruin your mind

Ba da ba da ba ba ba ba da da
Ba da ba da ba ba ba ba da da
Ba da ba da ba ba ba ba da da
Ba da ba da ba ba ba ba da da

Ya know that I want your loving
But Mr. Logic, Mr. Logic tells me it ain't never gonna happen
And then my defenses say
Well, I I I didn't want it anyway
But you know, sometimes I'm a liar

Could you ever want me to love you?
Could you ever want me to care?
Disregard my nervousness
Please ignore my vacant stares
Just what I've been through
is nothing like where I'm going to
Give me some sign of pursuit
a promise
a promise...
and you're unhappy
and you're unhappy
and you're unhappy
and you're unhappy
this is only a guess
