I Don't Want to Get Over You

I don't want to get over you

I guess I could take a sleeping pill

And sleep at will

And not have to go through what I go through

I guess I should take Prozac, right

And just smile all night

At somebody new

Somebody not too bright

But sweet and kind

Who would try to get you off my mind

I could leave this agony behind

Which is just what I'd do

If I wanted to

But I don't want to get over you

'Cause I don't want to get over love

I could listen to my therapist

Pretend you don't exist

And not have to dream of what I dream of

I could listen to all my friends

And go out again

And pretend it's enough

Or I could make a career of being blue

I could dress in black and read Camus

Smoke clove cigarettes and drink vermouth

Like I was seventeen

That would be a scream

But I don't want to get over you
