So there's one more wound to cauterize
And there's one more fix behind the eyes
Here's hopin' it cuts me down to size

Is it imagination or jealousy?
My intuition failing me?
I'm gonna throw up from so much pride!

As an idiot smiles
And comments on your eyes
He's never gonna know
What we've been through
He'll never open you
As I digress, I need tenderness
As I digress
Don't let 'em in

Just one last thing before you go
I don't trust myself when no one's home
Unlock the pearls inside my head
It's all inside my head

Another idiot smiles
And comments on your eyes
Whoever he is, he don't know you
As I digress, I'm in such a mess
As I digress
He'll never open you
As I digress, I need tenderness
As I digress
You let 'em in

And then a gentleman smiles
And comments on your eyes
Whoever he is, he don't know
Maybe I'm a little unstable in your eyes
That's valid, but I can't get over you
The only one for you

As I digress, I'm in such a mess
As I digress
He'll never open you
As I digress, is there tenderness
As I digress
The only one for you
As I digress, is there tenderness
As I digress
Don't let 'em in
