John Grant ☆ I Try Talk To You

You could probably say I’m difficult.
I probably talk too much.
I over analyze and overthink things.
Yes, it’s a nasty crutch.

I’m usually only waiting for you to stop talking
So that I can.
Concerning two-way streets, I have to say
That I am not a fan.

But I am the greatest motherfucker
That you’re ever gonna meet
From the top of my head
Down to the tips of the toes on my feet.

So go ahead and love me while it’s still a crime,
And don’t forget you could be laughing
65 percent more of the time.
You could be laughing
65 percent more of the time.

Half of the time I think I’m in some movie.
I play the underdog of course.
I wonder who they’ll get to play me.
Maybe they could dig up Richard Burton’s corpse.

I am not who you think I am.
I am quite angry–which I barely can conceal.
You think I hate myself, but it’s you I hate
Because you have the nerve to make me feel.

But I am the greatest motherfucker
That you’re ever gonna meet
From the top of my head
Down to the tips of the toes on my feet.

So go ahead and love me while it’s still a crime,
And don’t forget you could be laughing
65 percent more of the time.
You could be laughing
65 percent more of the time.

I should’ve practiced my scales.
I should not be attracted to males.
But you said that I should learn to love myself.
Well, make up your mind, Dr. Frankenstein.

‘Cause I am the greatest motherfucker
That you’re ever gonna meet
From the top of my head
Down to the tips of the toes on my feet.

So go ahead and love me while it’s still a crime,
And don’t forget you could be laughing
65 percent more of the time.
You could be laughing
63 percent more of the time.
You could be laughing
25 percent more of the time.
