Lyrics

The bed was still warm where I slept
 From these hours I wish to forget
 With the night still fresh on my breath
 I awoke to the grim face of death
 I thought it was all just a nightmare
 I guess it was true
 ♪
 As I crawled across the floor for the door
 From one room I don't know to the next
 There was nothing familiar around
 And it just ain't my style to leave the seat down
 I pulled on my clothes still half in a dream
 ♪
 As I struggled with my conscience & a multidirectional stream
 (What ya take her for)
 I buried my loneliness with her for the night
 Then I left with new symptoms no antidepressant could cure
 (What ya take her for)
 She took me for all I was worth
 May I remind you that ain't much at all
 A meaningless gesture in the meanest of times
 As it turns out you weren't worth the call
 I though it was all just a nightmare
 I guess it was true
 But now I'm left with a daily reminder of you
 ♪
 With equal surprise she opened her eyes
 Sat up & shouted "for christ sakes who the hell are you!"
 (What she take ya for)
 She cooked me my breakfast then called me a cab
 Shoved me out the door & threw the five dollar
 Fare in my face
 (What she take ya for)
 She took me for all I was worth
 May I remind you that ain't much at all
 A meaningless gesture in the meanest of times
 As it turns out you weren't worth the call
 I though it was all just a nightmare
 I guess it was true
 ♪
 But now I'm left with a daily reminder of you
