i saw you today, with your eyes looking tired
and as i came in, so totally fried,
i wondered if you'd notice, see the gift you gave
see me strutting around, pretending to be brave
in the face of certain infatuation, in knowing the truth
knowing there could be retaliation, knowing it would be uncouth
to act on desire, to seize your body with certainty
it would cause a riot! it would cause a mutiny!
but the lust remains, a cozy embrace
of saving feelings, of saving face.
so, though i pine and wait for you
i've got my something borrowed and i've got something blue
